Notes
- For details about the various WLU Honours Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) policies, procedures, regulations, and requirements that apply to this double degree plan, please consult the WLU Undergraduate Calendar and/or one of the plan's academic advisors at WLU.
- The abbreviations "BU" and "EC" are used in the WLU calendar for Business and Economics courses respectively.
- Students must select one of the three available co-op sequences during their 3A term.
- Waterloo-registered students who meet all the academic graduation requirements for this plan, but who do not meet the minimum requirements for a co-op degree may, in exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the Standing and Promotions (S&P) Committee, be awarded a Regular Honours BMath/Business Administration and Mathematics degree.
- Students in the double degree plan may elect to have one or more Faculty of Mathematics Honours designations. In order to be eligible for such a Bachelor of Mathematics (BMath) major and/or minor plan(s) and the Double Degree plan, students must satisfy the requirements for all plans except as provided for below (Double Degree students may not pursue the Mathematicial Optimization - Business Specialization.)
(a) Students pursuing Actuarial Science are exempt from the following courses: ACTSC 371, ECON 101, 102, ENGL 119, and STAT 331. Additionally, students may take BUS 473W to replace AFM 424 /472.
(b) Students pursuing Mathematical Optimization – Operations Research Specialization are exempt from the following courses: AFM 101, 102, ECON 101, 102, MSCI 211, 311, 432, and STAT 331.
(c) Students pursuing Statistics are exempt from the following courses: STAT 331 and 332.
(d) Students pursuing Mathematical Finance are exempt from the following courses: ACTSC 371, 372; AFM 101, 102, 131; ECON 101, 102; STAT 331, 443. Also, ECON 260W is an acceptable substitute for ECON 201.
- Students may, in certain circumstances, be permitted to have a minor and/or option designation on their Waterloo BMath diploma and transcript. Such a designation must be in a Waterloo discipline outside the areas of study offered by the Department of Business at Wilfrid Laurier University, and it cannot duplicate a similar designation on the student's WLU academic record. In addition to the approval of the academic unit offering the minor or option, students require the approval of a double degree academic advisor from both Waterloo and WLU to enrol for such a minor or option designation on their Waterloo academic record. Students wishing to have a minor, option, or specialization designation on their Laurier academic record should consult the WLU Undergraduate Calendar for details and discuss their situation with an academic advisor from the School of Business and Economics at Wilfrid Laurier University. Electing to have a separate major, minor, option, or specialization designation is not required for students in the double degree plan, and in some cases, satisfying the combined requirements for both the double degree plan and those for an extra designation may require successful completion of more than 52 courses.
