Bachelor of Arts - Applied Mathematics and Statistics

Departmental majors can earn either the B.A. or the B.S. degree by meeting the general university requirements and the general requirements of the School of Engineering (see Requirements for a Bachelor's Degree, including Writing Requirement, in this catalogue) departmental requirements.

The Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics awards departmental honours based on several factors, including performance in coursework and research experience. To be eligible for departmental honours, a student must:

achieve a 3.75 GPA in AMS Department courses (EN.553) used toward major requirements 1-11, and earn a C- or better in an additional one-semester course in AMS (EN.553) at the 300-level or higher, or undertake significant research activity (equivalent to a 3-credit course) in a subject related to applied mathematics. Such research can be conducted as an official research course. The student may request that the research supervisor provide an assessment to AMS academic staff toward the middle of the semester of the intended degree conferral.
