BSc (120 credit hour) Major in Mathematics
The 120 credit hour Major is suited to students who want to focus on Mathematics, but wish to have a program that is somewhat less constrained than the Honours program. Students in a Major program normally choose to concentrate in Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics or Mathematics Education.
