Overview
The Bachelor of Arts with Honors in Mathematics at the University of Alberta combines core mathematics with a liberal arts course structure, covering similar mathematical content to a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics but incorporating broader arts requirements. This approach, also found in fields such as linguistics, psychology, and anthropology, pairs quantitative training with humanities and social science coursework. Admission to the Honors major follows the standard Faculty of Arts pathway: applicants complete the BA Honors Foundation Year, then apply to declare Mathematics as their major, requiring a minimum Admission Grade Point Average of 3.0 with an average of 3.3 or better in Honors subject courses. The major can also be completed as part of the standard (non-Honors) Bachelor of Arts, within a Faculty of Arts offering more than 900 courses across the humanities, social sciences, and fine arts. Graduates pursue careers in data analysis, actuarial work, teaching, finance, and research, or continue to graduate study in mathematics or a related quantitative field.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:3.00 / 4.0
Admission Requirements: High school applicants are admitted to the BA Honors Foundation Year with a minimum application average of 85% on the five required admission subjects. By the end of the Foundation Year (minimum 24 units of course weight), students submit an online Program Selection Form to declare the Mathematics major, which requires a minimum Admission Grade Point Average of 3.0, with an average of 3.3 or better in Honors subject courses; competitive averages vary by field of study from 3.0 to 3.3. Applicants must also meet the university's English language proficiency requirement.
