Program details
Overview
Statistics at Dalhousie University leads to a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts, delivered by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics across the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, with study at the Halifax campus and, in part, at Truro and Bible Hill, and entry in September or January. The program teaches students to work with data: structuring, explaining, and processing information using statistical computing, data visualization, and predictive modelling with industry-standard software. Students can complete the degree as a concentrated or combined honours, a major, a double major, or a minor, and may add a co-op stream consisting of three paid work terms integrated with academic study. Optional certificates in data analytics or science communication and leadership are available, along with an integrated science program offering an alternative first-year route. The curriculum builds from foundational mathematics and statistics courses toward more specialized applied statistical methods used across science, business, and health fields. The program suits students who want a quantitative, data-focused degree that leads directly into analytical careers such as data scientist, database developer, biostatistician, or sports analyst, and it also functions as preparation for graduate study, including a Master of Science in mathematics, engineering mathematics, or statistics at Dalhousie or elsewhere.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:75.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Domestic applicants complete Grade 12 with a minimum overall average of 75% across five academic Grade 12 courses: Academic English 12, Pre-calculus Math 12 and three further academic subjects; students enter the Faculty of Science as undeclared majors and formally declare Statistics at the end of first year, and Dalhousie offers UPrep courses for applicants missing a prerequisite. Admission is competitive, so meeting the minimum average does not guarantee a seat. The page states no program-specific language-test scores and defers to Dalhousie's general English-language requirement for applicants whose first language is not English: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 90 overall with no section below 20, Pearson PTE Academic 61 overall with no skill below 50, or Duolingo English Test 120, among other accepted tests and exemptions listed on Dalhousie's international-admissions pages. Statistics admits students for September and January entry.
Application Details
Start Date:September and January
Application Deadline:Dalhousie's live Dates and Deadlines page still shows the September 2026 entry cycle as of mid-September 2026, not the 2027 cycle. For that cycle, Bachelor of Science (Nursing), Bachelor of Health Sciences, Bachelor of Science (Medical Sciences) and Bachelor of Social Work close February 15, 2026; the Bachelor of Environmental Design Studies (Architecture) closes March 1, 2026; and the Health Sciences post-diploma option closes June 15, 2026. All other undergraduate programmes are considered on a rolling, space-available basis for both domestic and international applicants, with no separate international closing date published; May 15, 2026 is only the deposit and English-proficiency deadline, not an application deadline. Dalhousie has not yet published September 2027 entry dates. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
