Probability and Statistics have developed over a period of several hundred years as attempts to quantify uncertainty. With its origins in modelling games of chance, probability theory has become a sophisticated mathematical discipline with applications in such fields as demography, genetics and physics.

Statistics is concerned with the proper collection and analysis of data, both to reduce uncertainty and to provide for its assessment via probability. Applications range from pre-election polling to the design and analysis of experiments to determine the relative efficacies of different vaccines.

STAB22H3 and STAB27H3 serve as a non-technical introduction to statistics. These courses are designed for students from disciplines where statistical methods are applied. STAB52H3 is a mathematical treatment of probability. STAB57H3 is an introduction to the methods and theory of statistical inference. The C-level courses build on the introductory material to provide a deeper understanding of the statistical methodology and of its practical implementation.

Admission to Statistics Programs

Beginning in 2018-19 there are admissions criteria for the Major/Major (Co-op) Program in Statistics. Details and information on how to apply for admission to these programs are found in the program descriptions below.

Combining Statistics and Economics Programs

Students who wish to combine studies in statistics and economics should consult the Economics for Management Studies section of the Calendar for information on the economics programs and restrictions on the order in which courses must be taken.

Double Degrees: BBA/BSc

The Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences, in partnership with the Department of Management, offers the following Double Degree programs:

  • Double Degree: BBA, Specialist program in Management and Finance/Honours BSc, Specialist program in Statistics, Quantitative Finance Stream
  • Double Degree: BBA, Specialist (Co-op) program in Management and Finance/Honours BSc, Specialist (Co-op) program in Statistics, Quantitative Finance Stream

The Double Degree programs create an accelerated pathway for students who would otherwise have to complete two separate Specialist programs. They explicitly focus on finance and quantitative methods, providing students with a thorough education in both the business and the quantitative aspects of the financial industry. The Double Degree Programs take advantage of existing synergies to allow students to complete both undergraduate programs and degrees within five years without compromising their learning experience. Students will complete a total of 25.0 credits and, for those enrolled in the Double Degree (Specialist Co-op programs), students must also complete three mandatory Co-op work terms. For more information, including Admission and Program requirements, see the Double Degree Programs section of the Calendar.

Program Combination Restrictions in Statistics

The Specialist/Specialist Co-op, Major/Major Co-op, Minor in Statistics, and Minor in Applied Statistics cannot be combined.

Experiential Learning and Outreach

For a community-based experiential learning opportunity in your academic field of interest, consider the course CTLB03H3, which can be found in the Teaching and Learning section of the Calendar.

Academic Directors:
S. Ahmed Email: mgmtss.utsc@utoronto.ca (BBA)
S. Damouras Email: sotirios.damouras@utoronto.ca (BSc)

This Double Degree program combines the Specialist Program in Management and Finance and the Specialist Program in Statistics, Quantitative Finance stream. Students completing the Double Degree program will qualify to graduate with two-degree designations – the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) and the Honours Bachelor of Science (BSc), assuming all other degree criteria are met.

Enrolment Requirements

Enrolment in this Double Degree program is limited.

1. Students applying directly from high school are admitted on the basis of academic performance. They must have completed Grade 12 English, Grade 12 Advanced Functions, and Grade 12 Calculus & Vectors. Applicants must also submit a Supplementary Application Form.

Course Guidelines for Students Admitted to the Double Degree Program Directly from High School
Students must complete the following courses in their first year of study: MGEA02H3, MGEA06H3, MATA22H3, MATA31H3MATA37H3, MATA67H3/CSCA67H3MGAB01H3, MGAB02H3, MGHA12H3MGMA01H3 and MGTA38H3.

2. Students already pursuing a BBA program and degree may apply to enter the Double Degree program. The application can be made before the end of the Winter semester and/or before the end of the Summer semester. Application for admission will be considered only for the round during which the student has made the Subject POSt request. Students considering switching to the Double Degree program should consult with the program supervisors as soon as possible.

The minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) for admission is calculated for each application period, and is based on University of Toronto courses only. Decisions are made when all grades have been received.

Students must have completed at least 5.0 credits (none of which can be designated as CR/NCR), including: MGEA02H3, MGEA06H3, MGAB01H3, MGAB02H3, MGTA38H3MATA22H3MGHA12H3, MATA31H3MATA37H3, and MATA67H3/CSCA67H3.

Students who have taken MATA34H3 or [[MATA30H3 or (MATA32H3)] and [(MATA33H3) or MATA36H3]] instead of [MATA31H3 and MATA37H3] can still apply to the Double Degree program if they are taking or plan to take MATA37H3 at the time of application and could receive admission conditional on their grade in MATA37H3 being above a threshold to be specified each year.

Notes:

  1. Students MUST complete the pre-requisite of MATA67H3/CSCA67H3 in order to take MATA37H3.
  2. MATA34H3 is not a substitute for MATA31H3. Students who have completed MATA34H3 will be required to take MATA31H3 as an Extra (EXT) course before taking MATA37H3.

Students may apply until they have completed up to 10.0 credits. Students who have completed more than 10.0 credits will not be admitted to the Double Degree program. For those who apply with more than 5.0 credits, their CGPA at the time of application will be calculated with more weight assigned to the required courses listed under the 5.0 credits. 

CGPA Requirement to Remain in the Double Degree (Specialist Programs)

In order to remain in the Double Degree, students must maintain a CGPA of 2.0 or higher after having attempted at least 4.0 credits. Students whose CGPA falls below 2.1 (but not below 2.0) will have the opportunity to move to either the non Co-op BBA Specialist Program in Management and Finance, or the non Co-op BSc Specialist Program in Statistics, Quantitative Finance stream. If they choose to stay in the Double Degree program and their CGPA falls below 2.0, they will be removed from the Double Degree program. Students removed from the program for this reason may request re-instatement if they complete at least 2.0 credits (none of which can be designated as CR/NCR) in the following session and raise their CGPA to at least 2.0. This opportunity will be provided only once.
