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 University of Calgary 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 Faculty 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 Faculty of Education at the earliest possible opportunity

The 15 FCE Faculty of Science part of the requirements for a major in the concurrent degree program in General Mathematics and Education are:

0.5 FCE - Education 201

0.5 FCE - English

1.0 FCE - Mathematics 249 or 251; and 211 or 213

0.5 FCE - Mathematics 253 or 283

0.5 FCE - Mathematics 205, 271, 273, Statistics 205

0.5 FCE - Computer Science 217 or 231 or 235

1.0 FCE - Mathematics 311 or 313 and 349 or 381

1.5 FCE - From the following: Applied Mathematics 311, Pure Mathematics 315 or 317, 418, Mathematics 321, 353, Statistics 323

0.5 FCE - Pure Mathematics 319

0.5 FCE - At the 300 level or higher offered by the Department

2.0 FCE - At the 400 level or higher offered by the Department

6.0 FCE - Options. See the Education Section (3.5.1 Elementary Route or 3.5.2 Secondary Route) of the Calendar for how these options are to be distributed.

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.

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 Mathematics 321 and Statistics 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.
