Bachelor of Science in Mathematics/Master of Science in Biostatistics

Mathematics is the study of abstract patterns and structures. The subject's abstractness is part of its fascination, but mathematical tools and constructions also pervade modern science and technology, often in startling ways. Here are some examples. A common algorithm to make internet communication secure hinges on properties of prime numbers. The Google search engine runs on an algorithm (page rank) that is based on the mathematics of linear algebra and eigenvalues of matrices. Scientists who generate huge data sets are turning to topologists and geometers (in addition to statisticians) to understand the shape and symmetries of their data sets and to discover what this might mean for the underlying science.

Grades (marks), “class” or “division” obtained should be equivalent to a “B” average or a 3.0 grade point average on the U.S. unweighted 4.0 scale. Applicants must be 17 years of age prior to the first day of classes. The applicant’s high school class of his or her peers must have graduated as well. Applicants must submit official transcripts from each institution attended. All applicants for whom English is a second language must present evidence of English language proficiency. All international applicants must demonstrate adequate financial resources.Have graduated from secondary school and never attended a post-secondary institutionMinimum 3.0 GPA.
