Notes

  1. Successful completion of the academic requirements for any of the departmental honours plans "X" in the Faculty of Mathematics, leading to a Bachelor of Mathematics (BMath) degree, will be accepted as a replacement for the math course requirements listed above provided that "X" is not a Mathematical Studies plan. All requirements specified in Table II must be completed, however, even if the departmental honours plan provides exemptions from any of those requirements. Students who elect this option will be designated by a plan label such as "Honours 'X'/Teaching" rather than "Honours Mathematics/Teaching".
  2. The selection of courses required for the BMath Teaching must include a second teaching subject. Options for the second teaching subject are chosen from the subjects available at Ontario Faculties of Education in consultation with the Math/Teaching plan academic advisors.
