Notes

  1. To graduate with an Honours BMath/Business Administration (any option) degree, students must achieve a cumulative average of at least 60% based upon all 300- and 400- level courses taken with any of the following prefixes: AFM, BUS, ECON, HRM, MSCI, MTHEL, and PSYCH. Exclusions (if any) from this "Special Major Average" (SMAV) are specified in section 1 under "Faculty Policies."
  2. To remain eligible to continue in any Mathematics/Business plan, students must normally have a SMAV (see preceding Note 1) of at least 60%. This criterion will apply once a student has completed at least three courses towards the average.
  3. The average requirements in Notes 1 and 2 above are in addition to the cumulative overall average (CAV) and major average (MAV) requirements specified in Table I in "Degree Requirements" (which includes the degree requirements common to all Honours BMath plans) and described in detail in sections 1 through 4 under "Faculty Policies."
