VIU also offers a Bachelor of Arts, Minor in Mathematics and a Bachelor of Science, Minor in Mathematics.

The Program

Vancouver Island University offers the first two years of a four-year B.Sc. in Mathematics. Students can transfer to a B.C. university after either the first or second year. The programs for transfer to the University of British Columbia (UBC), Simon Fraser University (SFU), and the University of Victoria (UVic) are given below. For further information, students should contact the VIU Mathematics department or the Advising Centre.

UBC Transfer

YEAR 1	Credits
MATH 100 - (Calculus for Engineering and Physical Sciences I) and, MATH 101 - (Calculus for Engineering and Physical Sciences II) or MATH 121 - (Calculus I) and, MATH 122 - (Calculus II) and, MATH 110 - (Additional Calculus Topics)	6 or 7
Select one of the following pairs: CHEM 140* - (Chemistry Fundamentals I) and, CHEM 141* - (Chemistry Fundamentals II) or CHEM 142* - (Chemistry Fundamentals II)	8
CSCI 160 - (Computing Science I) and, CSCI 161 - (Computing Science II)	8

MATH 100 - (Calculus for Engineering and Physical Sciences I) and, MATH 101 - (Calculus for Engineering and Physical Sciences II) or MATH 121 - (Calculus I) and, MATH 122 - (Calculus II) and, MATH 110 - (Additional Calculus Topics)	6 or 7
CSCI 160 - (Computing Science I) and, CSCI 161 - (Computing Science II)	8
MATH 123 - (Logic and Foundations)	3
Two Arts electives	6
Two Science electives	7 or 8
General elective	3
Total Credits	33 or 34

Transfer to SFU is suggested after Year 1 because VIU does not offer the full second year required for SFU. For those opting to remain at VIU, below is a suggested program; for full details, please consult the SFU Calendar and the online transfer guide at bctransferguide.ca.
