Program details
Overview
This program leads to a Bachelor of Science with a major addressing statistics within the University of Calgary's Faculty of Science, delivered on campus. Coursework builds mathematical and statistical fundamentals before extending into subdisciplines such as probability, stochastic processes, biostatistics, and machine learning, alongside foundational areas including abstract algebra, analysis, and discrete structures. Early courses include introductory calculus, linear algebra, discrete mathematics, introduction to statistical inquiry, and programming with data, taught through an active problem-solving approach in classes, tutorials, and assignments rather than lecture-only delivery. No co-operative work term, thesis, or practicum component is described. The program suits students who enjoy working with data, quantifying uncertainty, and applying statistical reasoning across disciplines. Career paths mentioned include quantitative finance, industrial mathematics, software development, data science and analytics, primary and secondary teaching, and public-policy statistics, as well as postgraduate research. The degree also functions as a pathway into graduate study in mathematics, statistics, engineering, physics, or computer science, or into professional programs such as law, medicine, education, veterinary medicine, or architecture.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Direct entry from Alberta high school. Required courses: English Language Arts 30-1, Mathematics 30-1, plus two of Biology 30, Chemistry 30, Physics 30, Mathematics 31 or CTS Computing Science 30 (5 credits), plus one further approved 30-level course or option. Equivalent IB, AP or other international curricula are accepted via the university's curriculum-specific requirements tool. Estimated competitive admission average for this cycle: High 80s. Direct-entry Bachelor of Science program; no supplementary application or portfolio is required.
Application Details
Application Deadline:For Fall 2027 entry, the University of Calgary opens undergraduate applications for domestic applicants on 1 October 2026 and for international applicants on 15 August 2026, both closing on the same firm application deadline of 1 March 2027, with supporting documents due by 15 March 2027 and offers accepted by 1 May 2027. International applicants follow the identical March 1 deadline; the university publishes no separate, later international closing date. Applications are not accepted on a rolling basis after the deadline for most direct-entry programmes, though a small number of programmes (e.g. Nursing) run further selection rounds into the summer while space remains. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
