Undergraduate programs in mathematics and statistics

Discovering how to put our world in order and studying the meaning of data are pursuits worth exploring.

A degree in mathematics or statistics at UNB Saint John will prepare you for a career as a data analyst, actuary, economist, biostatistician and more.

Benefit from our small class sizes as well as our range of courses. You will stand above the rest through our tutoring opportunities as well as summer research projects. Our classes fit the needs of students heading to graduate school or looking for employment. 

Mathematics

You can complete the mathematics program as a major or a minor.

Many students in our programs have the opportunity to “earn while they learn” as a teaching assistant, a tutor or working with a faculty member on a summer research project.

Our majors and minors may be obtained through either the Bachelor of Arts, or the Bachelor of Science degrees. We also offer a BSc in math and economics.
