Bachelor of Mathematics (B.Math.)
The Bachelor of Mathematics requires the equivalent of eight semesters of successful full-time study (20.00 credits). The general program, requiring the equivalent of six semesters of successful full-time study (15.00 credits), is also available.
Students graduating from the Bachelor of Mathematics will have gained mastery of foundational mathematical and computational tools, and familiarity with a variety of concepts in pure and applied mathematics and/or statistics.
Guidance is provided through the B.Sc. program counselling office. Since not all courses are offered in every semester and prerequisite dependencies must be observed, students are encouraged to consult with the B.Sc. program counsellor when considering any modifications to the suggested schedule of studies list.
