Subject Area Courses

Mathematics and Finance subject area courses include all courses at the 200-level or higher that satisfy specific requirements or options in the respective Honors or Major requirements, as listed below, all courses at the 200-level or above with course designator MATH, and all courses at the 200-level or above with course designators ACCTG, FIN, MGTSC, and OM.

There are minimum subject area GPA requirements for graduation (see Academic Standing and Graduation ).

Subject Area Requirements

Honors in Mathematics and Finance (99 units)
Major in Mathematics and Finance (84 units)

Note: Students registered in the Bachelor of Science (Major and Honors) program also need to satisfy Common Course Requirements , Major/Honors/Minor Requirements , and Science and Senior Course Level Requirements .

Honors in Mathematics and Finance Requirements

Foundation Courses

3 units from:

ECON 399 - Introductory Econometrics (See Note 6)
STAT 378 - Applied Regression Analysis

3 units from:

any 400-level FIN course

Notes:

CMPUT 274 and CMPUT 275 can serve as substitutes for CMPUT 174 and CMPUT 175 , respectively.
Students who successfully complete MATH 117 must replace MATH 216 with 3 units selected from MATH at the 200-level or higher.
With consent of the Department, students may substitute MATH 100 for MATH 117 , MATH 134 , MATH 144 or MATH 154 ; MATH 101 for MATH 118 , MATH 136 , MATH 146 or MATH 156 ; MATH 102 for MATH 125 or MATH 127 .
STAT 161 can be replaced by STAT 151 .
ECON 299 , ECON 386 or ECON 387 may not be used for credit in any Honors degree offered by the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences.
Students planning on taking ECON 399 in place of STAT 378 will need to take ECON 282 in their degree 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 STAT 266 .
