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 academic plan. All requirements specified in Table 2 must be completed, even if the departmental honours academic plan provides exemptions from any of those requirements. Students who elect this choice will be designated by an academic plan label such as "Honours 'X'/Teaching" rather than "Honours Mathematics/Teaching".
  2. The selection of courses required for this academic 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 academic plan academic advisors.
