Majors in Mathematics or Statistics in the BCom/BSc Combined Degree (Program 3529)

You can check the full rules for the BCom/BSc degree here

The rules are varied from those below if the Commerce major is in Finance or Actuarial Studies.

It is not possible to combine Advanced Mathematics with Commerce, but may be possible in the future.

NOTES:

The combined BCom/BSc degree requires:

  • 84uc of Commerce, including a major and specified Level I courses
  • 84uc of Science, including a major and at least 24uc of Level I Science courses
  • Another 24uc chosen from Commerce or Science courses
Units of Credit values are as follows:

  • ALL Commerce courses are 6uc each
  • Science courses MATH###1 are 6uc each
  • Science courses MATH###0 are 3uc each
Each session is 24 units of credit.
NO General Education is required.

Mathematics and Statistics courses are shown at the Higher level, but can be taken at the Ordinary level. The particular selection of Mathematics and Statistics options taken should have the approval of the Mathematics and Statistics Program advisor.

Note that MATH1141 and MATH1241 Higher Mathematics 1A/B may be replaced by MATH1151 and MATH1251 Mathematics for Actuarial Studies and Finance 1A/B.

Particular care needs to be taken in chosing Level II options to ensure that prerequisites for Level III options are met.

The Objective 5 General Education requirements are met within the Commerce courses.

Note that extra Science courses other than Mathematics are required to meet the rules above, particularly in First Year.

All students should check with the Science Student Centre that they meet the requirements fo the Science component of the Combined degree. The School of Mathematics and Staistics cannot decide this.

Courses in the various Stages can be taken in different years provided prerequisites are met.
