Program details
Overview
This Bachelor of Science major combines economics with mathematical and statistical tools, with coursework spanning mathematics, finance, economics, and actuarial science and an emphasis on the mathematical foundations behind economic analysis. It is offered through the Faculty of Science and is also available as a BSc Honors degree. The degree is customizable, letting students add an optional minor from more than 60 subjects across faculties or pursue a double major, either keeping their studies broad or specializing further in a chosen discipline. Alberta high-school applicants need English Language Arts 30-1, Mathematics 30-1, two courses from Mathematics 31, Physics 30, Chemistry 30, Biology 30, or Computing Science, and one elective from Fine Arts, Humanities, Languages, or Math/Sciences. It suits students interested in finance- or business-related careers who want a quantitative foundation in economics, and the page notes access to undergraduate research opportunities within the Faculty of Science.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Direct entry from high school into the BSc Major program. The Faculty of Science requires a minimum application average of 70% across the 5 required Grade 12 admission subjects; admission is competitive and the Faculty's three-year admission-average trend is low 80s to mid 90s — meeting the minimum does not guarantee a seat. This major additionally requires Mathematics 31 (Calculus) or equivalent as a prerequisite to register in program courses. Also offered at the Honors level.
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.
