Program Summary

Selkirk College offers a great start to an
undergraduate degree in mathematics or statistics.

Starting with your first year here at Selkirk, you can
go on to most universities and continue into the
second year of a mathematics degree. If math isn’t
your passion, but you need it for another program
or degree you are interested, we offer a variety of
courses for non-math types as well.

INTERESTED IN STUDYING MATH?

In general you should study math if you want to
develop new abilities to model and analyse the world
in a quantitative and rigorous way. Perhaps you want
to master one or two courses to prepare you to work
or study in a field which requires some quantitative
analysis.

Tf you enjoy math and like to think carefully and
rigorously, enjoy the challenge of solving difficult
problems and plumbing the depths of deep
intellectual concepts and are a creative problem
solver who doesn’t necessarily need to be following
an example, you may want to consider a degree or
even a career in mathematics.
