Departmental Double Dipping Policies
In choosing your combination of majors and minors, keep in mind the following restrictions on double-dipping within the Mathematics Department's programs:
Double use of courses between the Mathematics or Statistics & Data Science (SDS) Major or Minor and a second major from another department is permitted, provided the other major does not restrict double dipping. Students with a double major or double degree in MATH and SDS must complete at least 21 unique units in each major. A double minor in MATH and SDS is not permitted. The minor for MATH and SDS Majors requires unique courses. Double-dipping between one of these majors and the student’s minor is not allowed; SDS and MATH majors must select a minor outside the Department. Additionally:
- The SDS or MATH Minor may fulfill a minor requirement in a Second Degree;
- In the same degree, a MATH Minor may be added as the second minor under the SDS Major (and vice versa). At least 6 units of unique upper-division course work in the MATH or SDS minor is required.
Mid Career Writing Assessment
Every undergraduate degree program at the University of Arizona requires satisfaction of the MCWA. A grade of A or B in ENGL 102, ENGL 108 (for ESL students), or ENGL 109H (for honors students) will satisfy the requirement. If you earn less than a B in this second-semester composition course, you have several options for completing the MCWA. You may:
- repeat your second-semester English course (with GRO, if eligible) and earn at least a B, or
- complete ENGL 307, 308, or 313 with a grade of at least D.
