The minor in applied mathematics and statistics should be attractive to students majoring in a variety of disciplines, in both the School of Engineering and the School of Arts and Sciences. The minor provides formal recognition of the depth and strength of a student’s quantitative knowledge beyond the minimal requirements of their major.
The information below describes the academic requirements for students entering JHU as degree-seeking students in Fall 2025. Students who entered JHU as degree-seeking students prior to Fall 2025 should view the appropriate archived catalogue.

MINOR REQUIREMENTS
Grades of C- or higher are required. No Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) grade will be accepted. Courses must be either 3 or 4 credits. The minor in AMS requires 18 Quantitative credits. Details of these requirements are listed below.
| Code | Title | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| 18 Quantitative credits: | ||
Among the 18 Q credits, at least 4 courses from the AMS department (EN.533.XXX) | ||
Among the 18 Q credits, at least 3 upper-level courses (at 300-level or higher) with at least 2 of these from the AMS department 1 | ||
Among the 18 Q credits, at least one course in Scientific Computing from the list below 2 | ||
| Total Credits 3 | 18 | |
- 1
Students may count the combination of AS.110.201 Linear Algebra/AS.110.212 Honors Linear Algebra and AS.110.302 Differential Equations and Applications in place of ONE of the required 300-level courses within the AMS Department.
- 2
Students may take one of the courses approved to meet the AMS Master's/PhD Computing Requirement.
- 3
Students may not count all three of the following courses TOGETHER towards the AMS minor requirements: EN.553.311 Intermediate Probability and Statistics, EN.553.420 Probability/EN.553.620 Probability, and EN.553.430 Mathematical Statistics/EN.553.630 Mathematical Statistics. (Any two of these three are permitted; indeed, coursework in probability and statistics is highly recommended.)
