The B.A. program in Mathematical Economics provides a unique opportunity for you to develop your skills in mathematics and apply them to important issues in the social sciences. These tools are applied to the analysis of economic systems, growth, resource allocation and public policy. If you want to explore a scientific approach to analyzing social issues or plan to continue your studies in economics or business, this may be the major for you. We believe that learning requires active participation. That's why we provide our students with opportunities for discussion and interaction in seminars and lab groups.
Senior courses stress computer use, including hands-on analysis of economic data.
In Ontario, this is the OAC level. A senior-level mathematics, specifically calculus, is strongly recommended. Use of mathematics is an important part of upper year courses. Academic performance is the main criterion for admission although you may use the Student Profile Form to tell us about your leadership and citizenship qualities, and factors that affected your academic performance. This may result in special consideration if you have less than the minimum admission average.
