Concentration with Honours BSc and BA Mathematics and Financial Mathematics

Elective MA and ST credits at the 300 and 400 levels can be applied to a concentration. A maximum of two Mathematics concentrations are permitted as part of the Honours BSc and BA Mathematics and Financial Mathematics degrees.

A concentration requires completion of a minimum of 2.5 credits (including 1.0 credits of required courses, and 1.5 credits of eligible electives). If a student chooses to follow one or two concentrations in the program, this will be listed on the student's transcript.
