Double and Combined Majors

Double Major in Mathematics and  Computer Science(42 credits)

The courses required for the Double Major in Mathematics and Computer Science are the courses required for Major in Mathematics and the Major in Computer Science.

Double Majors with other Sciences (42 credits)

Double Majors in either Mathematics or Computer Science and one of Physics, Space Science, or Chemistry are possible. Course requirements for a Major in both disciplines must be met. See one of the department's undergraduate advisors for details.

Combined Major in Computer Science and Business Administration (42 credits)

Courses required by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science

  • MAE209; EEE245; CSE321; EEE321; MAE333; CSE350; CSE341; EEE351.

3 additional credits selected from the list of courses accepted for the Major in Computer Science.

In this programme, BAE410 is considered acceptable as a Computer Science course.

The courses required by the Department of Business Administration are all the courses in their Major in Administration except for BAE220; BAE242; and BAE450; which are not required. The first term of ECE102 will be taken as a prerequisite to ECE224.

Minors

Mathematics Minor

A minor in Mathematics is 8 credits including MAE101, MAE129, MAE229 and at least 3 credits from 300 or 400 level Mathematics courses (except MAE315 and MAE328).

Computer Science Minor

A minor in Computer Science is 8 credits from the list of courses acceptable for a Major or Honours Computer Science degree which have a CSE or EEE prefix. At least 5 of these credits must come from courses with the CSE prefix.

CORS Diploma

CORS - Canadian Operational Research Society

Together with their RMC diploma, students can obtain the Canadian Operational Research Society diploma if they fulfil the following conditions.

Successfully complete the following 8 credits:

  • CSE101; (MAE209 or BAE242); MAE310; BAE342; BAE344; CSE341; CSE453; (CSE472 or BAE410).

Complete a project that involves the use of an Operational Research technique.

Obtain an overall average of B- or better for these 8 courses and the project.

One can obtain more information about this diploma at the Mathematics and Computer Science Department, at the Business Administration Department and at the Internet site: Canadian Operational Research Society.
