<p>So I was looking around the cornell website, and I came across: </p>
<p>Although the College of Arts and Sciences and the Department of Mathematics offer no minor in mathematics....</p>
<p>That did not make me happy. I'm thinking of applying next year to AEM...how is there no math minor in this huge school? The site also said that the engineering school has an Applied Math minor, but what about non-engineers?</p>
<p>I'm fairly certain you're looking at the same page as I am,
Cornell</a> Math - Study of Mathematics Outside the Major
where it claims that you can declare a concentration in Math, which I'd think is sufficient. You can take higher level courses in mathematics and get it recognized at a slightly lower level than a minor.</p>
<p>Not having an "official minor" in a certain discipline isn't really that big of a deal. Anybody who cares (employers, grad schools) will ask for a transcript and see your performance in all of the math courses you take. What's more important is that you take the courses that are best suited for your purpose, and faculty advisers will be more than happy to help. </p>
<p>For example, a student I know in the ILR school took a lot of English courses, and she ended up going on to Stanford for her PhD study... in English Literature.</p>
<p>And if you really want the credential, why not just apply to Arts as a double major in math and economics?</p>
<p>Alrite thanks. It just caught me by surprise when I saw that, since I had never seen a school not have a math minor before.</p>
<p>minors don't mean anything. if a school didn't have a math major, then you should be concerned.</p>
