4.5.9 Concurrent Degree in General Mathematics in Education and BEd

Admission

Students accepted into the BSc (General Mathematics)/BEd concurrent degree program must meet the requirements for admission into the General Mathematics Program. Students interested in Science education should consider the BSc (Natural Sciences)/BEd concurrent degree program. Students registered in undergraduate degree programs in other faculties of the Áù¾ÅÉ«ÌÃ who wish to transfer to the BEd concurrent program can do so if they have completed no more than six full-course equivalents. Students in the concurrent degree program should also consult the information on the program in the Werklund School of Education portion of the calendar.

Note: Admission to the program is competitive and meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Students interested in the concurrent degree program should consult the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and the Werklund School of Education at the earliest possible opportunity.

Requirements

The 90 units (15 full-course equivalents) Faculty of Science part of the requirements for a major in the concurrent degree program in General Mathematics and Education are:

3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) - Education 201

3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) - English

6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) - Mathematics 249 or 265; and 211 or 213

3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) - Mathematics 267 or 277

3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) - Mathematics 205, 271, 273, Statistics 205

3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) - Computer Science 217 or 231 or 235

6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) - Mathematics 311 or 313; Mathematics 349 or 367 or 381

9 units (1.5 full-course equivalents) - From the following: Applied Mathematics 311, Pure Mathematics 315 or 317, 418, Mathematics 321 or Statistics 321, Statistics 323

3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) - Pure Mathematics 319

9Â units (1.5 full-course equivalents) - At the 300 level or higher offered by the Department

6Â units (1.0 full-course equivalent) - At the 400 level or higher offered by the Department

36 units (6.0 full-course equivalents) - Options. See the Werklund School of Education section of the Calendar for how these options are to be distributed.

Notes:

Students who withdraw from the Education component of the concurrent degree program will be required to complete additional courses to obtain the BSc in General Mathematics.
The General Mathematics in Education degree is only awarded to students who complete all five years of the degree program. Students seeking the concurrent degree should follow the recommended course sequence exactly.

Recommended Course Sequence

Although this course sequence appears flexible with respect to course choices, students should carefully plan their course selections to ensure that prerequisites for upper-level courses are obtained. For example, students interested in taking senior statistics courses should take Statistics 321 and 323 in Year 2, item 2; students interested in senior Pure Mathematics courses should take Pure Mathematics 315 in Year 2, item 2; students interested in senior Applied Mathematics courses should take Applied Mathematics 311 in Year 2, item 2, etc.
