Notes

Each student’s program must have the approval of the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences.
Students may substitute MATH 100, 114, 117, 134 or 144 for MATH 154; MATH 101, 115, 118, 136 or 146 for MATH 156; MATH 102 or 127 for MATH 125; MATH 217 for MATH 214; MATH 317 for MATH 215; MATH 227 for MATH 225.
Students presenting MATH 118 must substitute a senior MATH option for MATH 216 .
Credit will not be given for ECON 299 , ECON 386 or ECON 387 .
The ECON 299 prerequisite for ECON 399 is met by STAT 265 and STAT 266.
Students who are considering graduate work in Economics should take ECON 497 .
Students are encouraged to take at least ★6 in ECON, MATH, or STAT in each Fall/Winter of the program.
Credit in SCI 100 will be considered equivalent to MATH 114 , MATH 115 , CMPUT 174 , ★12 Science options (see details of courses ) and ★6 options.
Credit in SCI 151 will be considered equivalent to ★6 Science options.
