• Change of Major Criteria for Mathematics

  To declare a major, student must be in good academic standing (quarter and cumulative GPAs at 2.0 and above)  with no grades lower than a C- in any attempted major requirement.  If upper-division courses have been taken, a minimum upper-division GPA of a 2.0 is required.  Must be able to complete the degree within 216 units.  *AP/IB units or transfer units earned prior to graduating high school are excluded when determining unit range for change of major criteria and 216 unit maximum.

• Minor in Mathematics

  To declare a minor, students must: be in good academic standing (quarter and cumulative GPAs at 2.0 and above); complete 2 upper-division courses required for the minor with a C or better; and be able to complete both your major and minor within the 216 unit maximum.  *AP/IB units or transfer units earned prior to graduating high school are excluded when determining 216 unit maximum.   Minors must be declared no later than 2 quarters prior to a student's expected graduation term.   A minimum of 16 upper-division units must be unique to the minor; additional upper-division units beyond those unique 16 may also be used toward major requirements if applicable.
  Mathematics Minor requirements
  The following are the requirements for a minor in Mathematics: Lower-division courses (18-20 units) MATH 005B or MATH 007A or MATH 009A or MATH 009HA MATH005C or MATH 007B or MATH 009B or MATH 009HB MATH005C or MATH 009C MATH 010A, MATH 010B Upper-division requirements: 24 units of upper-division mathematics courses. Of the specified upper-division units, a minimum of 16 must be unique to the minor and may not be used to satisfy major requirements and no more than 4 units in courses numbered 190–199.      Students with a minor in Mathematics should consult with the mathematics advisor to construct a specific program consistent with their goals.

Mathematics Academic Advisors

CNAS Professional Academic Advisors provide students with individual guidance throughout their academic careers at UCR and help them achieve realistic academic goals.  Professional Academic Advisors can assist you with declaring or changing your major or minor, course repeats, the process for taking courses outside of UCR, taking a leave from UCR, and questions about withdrawing or readmitting to UCR.

Mathematics Lead Faculty Advisor

A Lead Faculty Advisor is assigned for each major.  Faculty advisors are available to assist students with guidance regarding graduate or professional school, opportunities to participate in research, independent study, or internships.  Faculty advisors also may provide students with advice and mentoring regarding career goals.
