Notes
  1. Students in the Mathematical Studies plan (no specialization), may pursue one minor in a mathematical discipline. Additionally, students may pursue a minor or option designation or joint honours plan with an academic discipline in another faculty. Students may not pursue a joint or double honours plan from within the Faculty of Mathematics.
  2. Students who complete the Business specialization, or either a minor or joint honours plan in a discipline outside the Faculty of Mathematics, are only required to complete 24 math courses.
