Honours Actuarial and Financial Mathematics Co-op (B.Sc.)


Admission


Enrolment in this program is limited. Selection is based on academic achievement and an interview but requires, as a minimum, submission of the on-line application by the stated deadline, and completion of Level II Honours Actuarial and Financial Mathematics with a Grade Point Average of at least 5.0.

Program Notes


  1. Students interested in focusing on financial mathematics are strongly encouraged to take MATH 3A03  and one of MATH 1MP3 , COMPSCI 1MD3 , MATH 2T03 , 3Q03* .
  2. Students must complete STATS 4A03  or COMMERCE 3FA3 . However, COMMERCE 3FA3  is not usually available in the Winter Term, so may have to be taken in the Fall or Spring/Summer Terms.
  3. Students should take COMMERCE 1AA3  (or 2AA3) and COMMERCE 2FA3  by the end of Level II, to enable completion of COMMERCE 3FA3  in a Fall term of Level III or IV.
  4. Alternatives for meeting the requirement of three units of STATS 4A03  or COMMERCE 3FA3  would include distance learning courses accredited by the actuarial agencies for fulfillment of either the Applied Statistical Methods VEE, or the Corporate Finance VEE, respectively. Students considering this alternative must speak with a faculty advisor from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics.
