Double Degree - Bachelor of Science - Mathematics & Bachelor of Business Administration - Global Business (Optional Co-op)

Students in a combined degree program work on two complementary university degrees simultaneously. A combined degree is generally a 50-course* program during which students complete the requirements for both degrees at the same time. When the student graduates, they will be awarded two bachelor's degrees, one for each area of study. The bonus is that you complete a combined degree program in less time than it would take to complete both degrees individually.

Bachelor of Science - Mathematics

Mathematics is the study of structure and patterns in numbers and shapes. It is an active research area, providing a language, theories and models to solve complex problems across a wide variety of scientific, industrial and economic sectors.

Over the past century, discoveries in pure mathematics have found unexpected applications in science, industry and finance, such as: secure internet transactions, Google, DNA sequencing and the stock market.

Math students will study both pure and applied mathematics, giving them the opportunity to see real-world applications of their studies.

The program offers courses in four main areas: algebra, analysis, number theory and geometry, and statistics. Many students opt to combine math with courses in physics, computer science, chemistry, economics, management or other areas of interest.

A mathematics education provides a solid training that is sought after by employers and allows flexibility in their career choices. Students will learn to tackle difficult problems employing a variety of theories and statistical models. They will also learn to communicate their expertise by combining their technical skills with a sound liberal education.
