Program Notes
- This is a five-level (year) co-op program which includes two eight-month work terms which must be spent in actuarial and financial mathematics related placements.
- Students must be registered full-time and take a full academic workload, as prescribed by Level and Term.
- Students are required to complete SCIENCE 2C00 prior to the Fall Term of Level III. Students are required to complete SCIENCE 3C00 before the first work placement.
- Students interested in focusing on financial mathematics are strongly encouraged to complete MATH 2XX3 , 3FF3 and one of COMPSCI 1MD3 , MATH 1MP3 or 3NA3 . Students should note that MATH 2X03 is a prerequisite for MATH 2XX3 and that MATH 2R03 is a prerequisite for MATH 3FF3 .
- Students must complete STATS 4A03 or COMMERCE 2FB3 (or COMMERCE 3FA3).
