Program details
Overview
This Bachelor of Science program in Mathematics, offered at Mount Saint Vincent University's Halifax campus through the Mathematics and Statistics department, covers mathematics as both an applied and a theoretical discipline, with relevance to science, engineering, and statistics as well as to the historical development of human thought. Students can take mathematics courses to support study in another discipline or pursue a minor or major leading toward careers in teaching, statistics, computer science, actuarial science, and related fields. Entry to core first- and second-year courses such as Precalculus, Introductory Calculus, and Statistical Modeling and Data Analysis requires a math placement test, with specific course-credit exemptions for students who have already completed designated prerequisite courses. Students planning a major or minor consult the department to be assigned an advisor who helps plan an academic program, and credit generally cannot be repeated for a course that has already satisfied a prerequisite for another course. The program suits students in quantitative fields who want a foundation applicable to further study or careers in mathematics-adjacent professions such as statistics, computing, or actuarial work.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Mathematics BSc follows Mount Saint Vincent University's general undergraduate requirements: the program's own page directs applicants to sections 2.1.4 and 2.1.6 of the Undergraduate Academic Calendar rather than stating Mathematics-specific criteria. Canadian high school applicants are assessed on their Grade 12 academic courses, with the required subjects varying by province; international secondary-school applicants need an average of at least 70% across their five best final-year academic subjects, and transfer applicants an overall GPA of 2.0. Applicants whose first language is not English must demonstrate proficiency: MSVU accepts IELTS 6.5 (no band below 6.0), TOEFL iBT 86-92 (no section below 21), PTE 59 (no band below 54), CAEL 60, Duolingo English Test 115 (no subscore below 95), or Oxford ELLT 7.0.
