All Mathematics programs are offered through the University of Waterloo and St. Jerome's University. The decision to register at St. Jerome's occurs after admission.
In addition to a strong academic background, other factors considered in the admissions process include performance in contests such as the Euclid Mathematics Contest and the Canadian Computing Competition, the number and variety of courses taken, involvement in extracurricular activities in the school and/or the community, and teacher recommendations.
Those not offered admission to their first choice program will be considered for other Mathematics programs.
The Faculty administers the English Language for Academic Studies (ELAS) program for those with exceptional mathematics skills who do not meet normal English language requirements.
Admission to the Mathematics Co-op Teaching Option occurs in year Two after successful completion of Year One in either Honours Co-op Computer Science or Honours Co-op Mathematics.
Honours Business Administration and Mathematics Co-op is a double degree program offered jointly by Wilfrid Laurier University and the University of Waterloo leading to BBA and BMath degrees.
Honours Business Administration and Computer Science Co-op is a double degree program offered jointly by Wilfrid Laurier University and the University of Waterloo leading to BBA and BCS degrees.
