Students wishing to enter an honours program in mathematics should consult with an advisor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. A grade of 70% in the mathematics courses of semester 1 and 2 is normally required for admission to semester 3 of the Major program in Mathematics.

Honours Program Major

A total of 20.00 credits is required to complete the Major which includes at least 10.00 credits in Mathematics & Statistics, 2.00 of which must be at the 4000 level. At least 1.00 in Arts and Social Science must be completed.
