Program details

Overview

This degree analyzes data using mathematical and computational tools to draw meaningful insight from scientific problems, covering statistical communication, statistical computing, and the fundamentals of probability theory. It is framed around a future in which organizations and institutions must make sense of large amounts of data, with a co-op program available as an option. Graduates are prepared for statistics and data careers in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, gaming, finance, market research or computer software.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Direct entry from a B.C. high school (Fall 2026 admission cycle onward) requires graduation with at least five approved academic Grade 12 courses, including English Studies 12 or English First Peoples 12 with a minimum grade of 70% in Language Arts 11, English 12, or an equivalent course, plus all of Pre-Calculus 12 and at least two further Grade 12 courses from Anatomy and Physiology 12, Calculus 12, Chemistry 12, or Physics 12. Under the prior (Spring/Summer 2026) grid, two Grade 11 courses were required from Chemistry 11, Life Sciences 11 or Physics 11 alongside the Grade 12 slate above. Approved AP or IB courses may be used in place of any of these. No separate minimum admission GPA is published for the major beyond the 70% English threshold. Applicants who do not meet the English requirement through Canadian secondary coursework must instead satisfy SFU's institution-wide English language proficiency requirement: IELTS Academic overall 6.5 with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT overall 4.5 with no section below 4.0.

Application Details

Start Date: Three intakes a year: Fall (September–December), Spring (January–April) and Summer (May–August). First day of classes is 5 January 2027 for Spring 2027, 10 May 2027 for Summer 2027 and 7 September 2027 for Fall 2027.
Application Deadline: Undergraduate applications are submitted on EducationPlannerBC and SFU publishes one set of dates per applicant type — high-school or college/university transfer — with no separate international deadline; document deadlines are stated as applying to all applicants. Fall 2027 entry: applications open 1 October 2026 and close 31 January 2027 for high-school applicants, while transfer applications open 1 March 2027 and close 15 April 2027. Spring 2027 entry: open 1 July 2026, closes 15 September 2026. Summer 2027 entry: open 1 December 2026, closes 15 January 2027. Admission documents are due 28 February 2027 (Fall, high-school applicants), 15 May 2027 (Fall, transfer applicants), 1 October 2026 (Spring) and 1 February 2027 (Summer); B.C. high-school applicants must also file the Student Transcript Service form by 31 January. Decisions are released on a rolling basis — early Fall offers from mid-November 2026 to January 2027, standard offers from January to late April, transfer decisions from mid-March to late June — and most Fall entrants must accept by 1 May. These are SFU's university-wide undergraduate dates, not a deadline set by this program; a few programs admit in one term only, so confirm on the program's own SFU page.
