Program Objectives
This program provides a solid foundation in basic areas of mathematics, especially those with applications in other disciplines. This program is intended to be combined with other programs, typically a major program in another discipline.
Enrolment Requirements
Enrolment in the Major Program in Mathematics is limited. Students may apply to enter the program after completing 4.0 credits, and must meet the requirements described below:
1. Students already admitted to the UTSC Year 1 Mathematics admissions category:
Required Courses:
Students must have passed the following CSC and MAT courses: CSCA08H3, [CSCA67H3 or MATA67H3], MATA22H3, MATA31H3, and MATA37H3.
Required Grades:
Students that meet all of the following requirements will be admitted to the Mathematics Major POSt:
a. A cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of at least 2.0 over the following courses: CSC/MATA67H3, MATA22H3, MATA31H3, and MATA37H3; and
b. A final grade of at least B in one of the following: CSC/MATA67H3, MATA22H3, and MATA37H3.
2. Students admitted to other UTSC Year 1 admissions categories:
Students that have been admitted to other CMS admissions categories (Computer Science or Statistics) or any other of the UTSC Year 1 admissions categories are eligible to apply for a Mathematics Major POSt. Admission will be based on academic performance in the required A-level courses, identified above. The admission requirements change each year depending on available spaces and the pool of eligible applicants, and students are cautioned that there is no guarantee of admission; as such, students are strongly advised to plan to enroll in backup programs.
For more information about the admission requirements, please visit the following CMS webpage.
