Bachelor of Mathematics (B.Math.)

Welcome to the Bachelor of Mathematics degree program! We are excited to have you join us.  

All first-year B.Math. students will be invited to attend a Degree Program Event in early September. We look forward to meeting you then. 

You will be selecting courses for the Fall 2025 semester (Semester 1) and Winter 2026 (semester 2) at this time. As a B. Math. student, you will normally select five courses (2.5 credits) per semester. You will require:

Fall 2025 (semester 1) 

  • CIS*1300 Programming 

  • ENGL*1030  Effective Writing 

  • MATH*1200 Calculus I 

  • STAT*1200 Probability and Chance. 

  • Elective (first year course of your choice) 

Winter 2026 (semester 2) 

  • MATH*1160 Linear Algebra I 

  • MATH*1210 Calculus II 

  • STAT*2040 Statistics I 

  • Liberal education, humanities or social science electives  

  • Elective  

The process for creating your schedule  is outlined below. 

Advising Notes:

  • It is important that you select your courses using WebAdvisor as soon as possible. Sections fill up quickly. Detailed instructions are available in the WebAdvisor Tutorial. 

  • Course Selection tip- Select courses that have fewer sections first and build the rest of your schedule around those times. 

  • Check your class schedule to ensure that there are no conflicts, and the course registrations have taken place successfully. 

  • Check to make sure that you registered for courses in the correct semester since you are registering for 2 semesters. 

  • Some courses required for certain majors or specific sections of courses that are required for many degree programs/majors may be restricted to specific programs/majors. If a section of a required course is restricted, you will need to check other sections for one where the restriction includes your degree/major.  If space allows, restrictions on these courses or sections of courses may be removed near the end of the course selection period. You should select a course section or an elective that does not create an academic conflict but keep checking WebAdvisor to see if space in your preferred section/elective becomes available. 

  • Distance Education (DE01) courses have no scheduled class time as these courses are online. 

  • If you are a transfer student with transfer credits, contact Bonnie Lasby to schedule an appointment remote appointments are available during regular office hours).
