Notes

  1. Successful completion of the academic requirements for any of the departmental honours "X" plans 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 2 must be completed, even if the departmental honours plan provides exemptions from any of those requirements. Students who elect this choice will be designated by a plan label such as "Honours 'X'/Teaching" rather than "Honours Mathematics/Teaching".
  2. The selection of courses required for this plan must include a second teaching subject. Choices for the second teaching subject are chosen from the subjects available at Ontario faculties of education in consultation with the Mathematics/Teaching plan academic advisors.
