Common Core
All degree programs in the School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences are built on a common core of courses that should be completed in the first two years of study. This common core consists of the following courses:
| Course | Course name | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| MATH 1910 | Single Variable Calculus I | 4 |
| MATH 1920 | Single Variable Calculus II | 4 |
| MATH 2610 | Linear Algebra I | 3 |
| STAT 1910 | Introduction to Statistics | 3 |
| CS 1910 | Computer Science I | 3 |
| ENG 1010 | Academic Writing | 3 |
| IKE 1040 | Indigenous Teachings of Turtle Island | 3 |
| Total Semester Hours of Credit | 23 |
Common Breadth Requirement
Students must take at least 15 semester hours of credit beyond the core course requirement in courses outside the School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences, and of these 15 semester hours of credit at least 6 must be from outside the Faculty of Science.
Common Advanced Courses
Students in all degree programs in the School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences must complete MCS 4210 Professional Communication and Practice (writing-intensive) and MCS 3050 Tutoring in Mathematical and Computational Sciences.
The 17吃瓜 Co-op Program is an integrated approach to university education which enables students to alternate academic terms on campus with work terms in suitable employment. The success of such programs is founded on the principle that students are able to apply theoretical knowledge from course studies in the workplace and return to the classroom with practical workplace experience. Students who successfully complete all the requirements of the program will have the notation entered on their transcripts and on the graduation parchment.
Students accepted into the program complete at least three paid work terms of normally 14 weeks duration, and three professional development courses. Credits earned through completion of work terms are counted as general electives.
The Co-op option is available to full-time students in any MCS Major or Honours program. Applications to the Co-op Education Program are normally made after completion of the first year of study. MCS students must complete 126 semester hours of credit in order to graduate with the Co-op designation.
