Program details

Overview

This is McGill's Bachelor of Science with a Major in Mathematics, offered through the Department of Mathematics and Statistics in the Faculty of Science. The page describes the major as giving a general overview of mathematics, including a rigorous foundation together with exploration of its different branches. As with other Faculty of Science majors, students must satisfy both the specific requirements of the mathematics major and the university's broader Foundation-year and degree requirements, and are directed to the Faculty's degree planning guidance to confirm the major fits within their overall degree. The page does not describe an honours track, research placements, a specific delivery format, or a defined admission profile beyond entry through the Faculty of Science. It suits students who want broad exposure to multiple areas of mathematics with a solid theoretical foundation, rather than a program built around a single named specialization, and who may be considering further study or a career that draws on general mathematical training rather than one narrow branch of the subject.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: This McGill program page carries no admission criteria of its own; it directs applicants to the university's general admission requirements, and to enter you apply to the Faculty of Science. Under McGill's institution-wide rules, Quebec CEGEP graduates are admitted directly from their DEC into the three-year program, following the Science-stream prerequisite courses; Canadian applicants from other provinces are assessed on their senior secondary record, for example Ontario applicants on the average of their 'Top 6' 4U/4M courses, with at least four of the six and all prerequisites at the 4U level; international applicants are assessed by their own school system (US high school, IB, British-pattern, or other) and are normally admitted with an extra Freshman (U0) year. Admission is by academic record only, and meeting the published minimums does not guarantee a place. English proficiency is required unless exempt: IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 90, Duolingo English Test 125, or PTE Academic 65.

Application Details

Application Deadline: McGill sets deadlines by educational background rather than citizenship. For entry in September 2027, Quebec CEGEP and Quebec high-school applicants must apply by 1 March 2027 (documents due 15 April 2027); applicants from Ontario and other Canadian provinces must apply by 1 February 2027 (documents due 4 May 2027). International applicants, including those on a U.S. high-school or IB curriculum, must apply by 15 January 2027 (documents due 1 March 2027). The application portal opens 1 October 2026. Deadlines are firm and late applications are not accepted; admission is not rolling, and decisions are released competitively from November through July depending on school system. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
