Notes

1. Each student’s program must have the approval of the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences and must include:
   1. 18 units in Arts courses
   2. 63 units in Science courses
   3. 33 units in ACCTG, ECON, FIN, MGTSC or OM, including 9 units in 400-level FIN. ECON 109 may not be used to satisfy this requirement.
2. Students may substitute:

• MATH 100, MATH 114, MATH 117, MATH 134 or MATH 144 for MATH 154;
• MATH 101, MATH 115, MATH 118, MATH 136 or MATH 146 for MATH 156;
• MATH 102 or MATH 127 for MATH 125;
• MATH 217 for MATH 214;
• MATH 317 for MATH 215;
• MATH 227 for MATH 225.

3. Students presenting MATH 117  must substitute a senior MATH option for MATH 216 .
4. Approved ACCTG, ECON, FIN and MGTSC options include ACCTG 322 , ACCTG 412 , ACCTG 432 ; ECON 282 , ECON 384 , ECON 385 , ECON 399 , ECON 481 , ECON 482  ECON 497 ; FIN 412 , FIN 413 , FIN 414 , FIN 415 , FIN 416 , FIN 422 , FIN 434 , FIN 442 ;  MGTSC 405 . Credit will not be given for ECON 299 , ECON 386  or ECON 387 .
5. Students planning on taking ECON 399 in place of STAT 378 will need to include ECON 282 in their program and ensure successful completion of either the Assessment of Reading, Comprehension, and Writing in Economics or ECON 109 . The ECON 299 prerequisite for ECON 399 is met by STAT 265 and 266.
6. MGTSC 312  prerequisites are waived by Business for students in this program.
7. Recommended Science options include: MATH 334, MATH 337 , MATH 381 , MATH 432 , MATH 481; STAT 353 , STAT 472, STAT 479 .
8. Credit in SCI 100 will be considered equivalent to CMPUT 174 , MATH 114 , MATH 115  and 18 units in options.
9. Credit in SCI 151  will be considered equivalent to STAT 151  and 3 units in Science options.
10. STAT 161 can be replaced by STAT 151.
11. Up to 12 units in outside options (i.e. courses from Faculties other than Arts, Business, or Science) can be credited to the degree with approval of the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences.
