Program details
Overview
The Bachelor of Science with a Major in Mathematics at the University of Alberta gives students an overview of mathematics with flexibility to direct their own course selection. As with other Faculty of Science majors, the program is customizable: students can add an optional minor or double major chosen from more than 60 subjects across faculties such as Arts, Native Studies, Business, and Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences, keep their program broad, or focus more deeply on a particular area of mathematics; an Honors version of the BSc is also offered. It suits students with strong quantitative skills who want either a broad mathematics foundation or the flexibility to pair mathematics with a second field. Career paths named on the program page include actuary, mathematician, statistician, cryptographer, operations researcher, risk analyst, and investment advisor, along with roles in technology, healthcare, and market analysis. The program is delivered on the university's Edmonton campus.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Direct entry from Alberta high school. Required: English Language Arts 30-1 and Mathematics 30-1, plus two of Physics 30, Biology 30, Chemistry 30, Mathematics 31, or Computing Science ADV (CTS-5Cr), plus one further course from Fine Arts, Humanities, Languages other than English, or Math/Sciences. Admission to the Faculty of Science is competitive: the Faculty requires a minimum application average of 70% across the required Grade 12 admission subjects, and its three-year admission-average trend is low 80s to mid 90s — meeting the minimum does not guarantee a seat. Some university courses carry additional Grade 12 prerequisites beyond the admission requirements. The degree can be customized with an optional minor or double major. English language proficiency is required of all applicants.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply directly to the University of Alberta, not through a provincial service: for Fall 2027 entry the application window opens 1 October 2026 and the deadline for most programmes is 1 March 2027, though several limited-enrolment programmes close earlier (Juris Doctor, 1 December 2026; Dental Hygiene, 1 November 2026) or later (Bachelor of Design and BFA programmes, 1 May 2027); Spring and Summer 2027 admission also opens 1 October 2026, while Winter intake is limited to a few programmes. International applicants use the identical published dates and online application; the university states no separate international closing date. The 1 March deadline is firm and late applications are not accepted, but admission decisions are then issued on a rolling basis, and offers made before 1 April must be accepted by 1 May 2027. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
