Science - Financial Mathematics - Direct - International Year One (UTP Stage II) (Optional Co-op)

Program Description The Faculty of Science at Wilfrid Laurier University offers a wide variety of undergraduate programs across seven academic departments and are home to several leading-edge research centres. Science faculty members are engaged in high-quality research, the advancement of scientific knowledge and the application of that knowledge to real-world problems. They bring their expertise and enthusiasm for research into the classroom. Many undergraduate students find opportunities to enrich their learning through involvement in Laurier research projects or through co-op work experience. The Faculty of Science is committed to offering high-quality programs in the pure and applied sciences. We share with the rest of the university a commitment to offering students a supportive environment and an enriching experience that prepares them for future success. Laurier’s Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Financial Mathematics program is structured to teach students mathematics and its financial applications with a focus on how mathematics is connected with social science and business. Wilfrid Laurier program’s modern approach involves simultaneously analyzing financial risks, evaluating prices of complex securities, valuing investments and combined assets, and liability management. During the UTP Stage II: Science - Financial Mathematics program students will take courses that introduce them to a wide range of disciplines. They will transfer into the Bachelor of Science program in the Faculty of Science at Wilfrid Laurier University upon successful completion of the UTP Stage II: Science - Financial Mathematics program.
