Math Minor

Minor Requirements:

Students declare the minor in Axess. Declarations are reviewed about once per month and you will be contacted once your declaration is approved.

The Math minor consists of 6 Math courses at or above Math 51 taken for a letter grade. Within the 6 Math courses, minors must complete at least 3 100-level Math courses.

Note: The CR/NC policy from the 2020-21 academic year does not extend beyond Summer 2021. From Autumn 2021 onwards all courses towards the Math major must be taken for a letter grade. 

  • Stats 116 (no longer offered), Stats 118, Phil 151, Phil 152, and Math 56 can be used as 100-level Math courses towards this requirement.
  • Math introsem courses (such as 77Q, 87Q, and 83N) can be used as 100-level Math courses towards this requirement. 
  • MATH 193, Math 193X, Math 197, Math 198, and Math 199 cannot count towards the minor.
  • Four courses of the minor must be taken at Stanford.

If you have transfer credit that you would like to use towards the minor requirements, please review and complete the steps on our Transfer Credit Process page.

No courses other than the Math 50/60CM/60DM series and first-year calculus may be double-counted toward any other University major or minor.
