The Faculty of Mathematics, in co-operation with various academic units from other faculties at the University of Waterloo (Waterloo) and the School of Business and Economics at Wilfrid Laurier University (Laurier), offers the Honours Mathematics/Business Administration plan.
The Mathematics/Business Administration plan provides an opportunity to combine courses in actuarial science, computer science, optimization, and statistics with courses in accounting, business, economics, human resource management, and management sciences. Graduates are well prepared to use sophisticated analytical techniques in the solution of business-related problems and adapt to the rapidly changing modern business environment.
Honours Mathematics/Business Administration is a restricted-enrolment plan. Most of the students enrolled in this plan are admitted at the Year One level directly into the Mathematics/Business Administration admission category.
Students admitted to the Faculty of Mathematics in other admission categories may subsequently apply for transfer to Mathematics/Business Administration at a later date. However, to be admitted, such applicants will normally be required to have a "Good" or "Excellent" academic standing with a minimum 70.0 cumulative overall average (CAV) based on at least 5.0 units of non-excluded courses. Applicants "in good standing" with less than a 70.0 CAV will also be considered on an individual basis if resources available at the time of their application should permit enrolling additional students in the plan.
