* Students may choose to take two MATH courses instead of MATH1113. The options are MATH1013/1014 or MATH1115/1116. MATH1013/1014 is recommended for students with the bare minimum of mathematical background for the Bachelor of Actuarial Studies or for those not confident in their mathematical ability. MATH1115/1116 is a higher level of MATH1013/1014 and is recommended for those who are considering further mathematical study. Should two MATH courses be chosen, one of ECON1101, BUSN1001 or STAT1008 would need to move to the “Elective Course” position in the second semester of Year 1 above to make room for a MATH course in the first semester of Year 1.
