Program Requirements for Combined B.Math./M.Sc.
This "fast-track" program combines the requirements for Bachelor of Mathematics in Mathematics or Statistics, and Master of Science in Mathematics, into a sequence that will enable exceptional students to complete in four years of study.
Entry to this program directly from an Ontario High School requires both of the following:
- an average of 90 per cent or better on Grade 12 Mathematics: Advanced Functions and Grade 12 Mathematics: Calculus and Vectors;
- an average of 85 per cent or better over six credits in Grade 12 courses of University or University/College type.
Admission, continuation and graduation from the undergraduate portion of the program requires a Major CGPA of 11.0 or better and Overall CGPA of 10.00 or better.
Before entry into the fourth year of this program, students must: obtain a recommendation from the School of Mathematics and Statistics to continue, apply to graduate with a B.Math. General degree, by the end of January of their third year, and submit an application for graduate studies to the School by mid-February.
Undergraduate Portion
Students may apply for admission to either the Mathematics or the Statistics versions of the program.
