Notes:

Note 1Not all courses listed have priority enrolment for students enrolled in this program. Students are responsible for checking priority of courses and meeting course prerequisites for courses they wish to take.

Note 2Each course can count toward only one requirement, even if listed as options to multiple requisites of the program.

Note 3Students may be permitted to take Math graduate courses. A 0.5 credit of these courses may count toward specialist program requirements, where relevant (e.g., as courses “at the 400-level”). To review eligibility criteria and apply for graduate courses as an undergraduate student, find more information on the A&S Math website.

Note 4Students may be permitted to take an independent reading course. A 0.5 credit of these courses may count towards program requirements, where relevant (e.g., as courses “at the 400-level”). To review eligibility criteria and apply for independent reading courses as an undergraduate student, find more information on the A&S Math website.
