A request form is available for any other mathematics course upon the written approval prior to the beginning of the quarter in which the course is to be offered. The academic advisor, Marna Mozeff. She can be reached by telephone at 215.895.6691 or by e-mail at mmozeff@math.drexel.edu
* Students who take MATH 291 cannot also count MATH 321 or MATH 322 toward their minor
†† Students can only count one of MATH 201 and MATH 261 toward their minor
*** Students can only count only one of MATH 210 and MATH 262 toward their minor
** Certain Special Topics courses, often numbered as Math 480, will also count toward the minor. If there is a special topics class you are interested in taking toward the minor, contact Marna Mozeff (mmozeff@math.drexel.edu) to find out if it is acceptable.
