Graduating with Honors in Mathematics

Students preparing to graduate with honors in mathematics should
notify the department's honors adviser by the beginning of their
senior year. To graduate with honors, students must do additional
course work at a satisfactory level and write a thesis covering
advanced topics assigned by their adviser.

Mathematics Minor

To earn a minor in mathematics, a student must complete at least
30 credits in mathematics at the 200 level or higher, with at least
15 upper-division mathematics credits. Math 425, 426, 427 cannot be
used. A minimum of 15 credits must be taken at the U of O. Only one
D grade may be counted in fulfilling the upper-division requirement.
All upper-division courses must be taken for credit.
