60 units of credit of Level 2 and 3 Mathematical Science courses.

A minimum of 24 units of credit of Level 3 Mathematics courses must be taken. It is highly recommended that

MATH12171   Differential Equations, and additional Level 3 mathematics courses also be taken.

4 electives, selected from any undergraduate degree program.

A recommended study schedule for this program can be obtained from your program administrator. Students may determine their own schedule based upon credit transfers and personnel study requirements. It is important to note that full-time students usually enrol in four courses per term and part-time students usually enrol in two courses per term per term.

Note: Students must check to see when and where a course is offered before enrolling. See the course availability section in this handbook for details.
