Courses for Subject Area Requirements


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 Economics Requirements


Notes:


  1. CMPUT 274  and CMPUT 275  can serve as substitutes for CMPUT 174  and CMPUT 175 , respectively.
  2. Students who successfully complete MATH 117  must replace MATH 216  with 3 units selected from MATH at the 200-level or higher.
  3. Students who successfully complete MATH 227  must replace MATH 226  with 3 units selected from any 200-, 300-, and 400-level MATH course.
  4. If only one of MATH 417  and STAT 479  is taken, then 3 units of this program requirement must be at the 400-level; if neither MATH 417  nor STAT 479  are taken, then the full 6 units must be at the 400-level.
