Mathematics & Statistics Programs at McMaster

McMaster offers a variety of Honours degrees in Mathematics and Statistics. These include a core program which allows the student the flexibility to pursue interests in other areas; specializations in Mathematics, Actuarial and Financial Mathematics and Statistics, which encourage the student to create a more focused program of study; and several joint Honours and Co-op programs.

Entry to any of these programs is either through the Level 1 Mathematics and Statistics, or through any other Level 1 program at the university, provided the student has completed MATH 1A03, 1AA3 and 1B03 (with high enough grades). Students who are planning to continue in Math & Stats should enrol in Level 1 Math & Stats as this gives them the dual advantages of courses MATH 1X03, 1XX3 and 1C03 targeted to Math & Stats students and complete flexibility in their choice of other courses.

Admission to level 2 or above of the Actuarial and Financial math program requires completion of a supplementary application.

Students can find information regarding career services and cooperative education on the SCCE website.
