The degree, offered over a minimum of 3 years, requires students to complete 18 prescribed courses, including a minimum of a full year of mathematics, as well as 9 or more courses from a basket of approved electives ranging from Marketing to Politics to Statistical Sciences. Of this total of 27 courses, 7 are required to be at a 3rd year level, so students need to plan their curriculum carefully.
