MMath
To satisfy the breadth requirement, all Master’s students are required to complete 2 courses from the following lists, with no more than 1 course from each list.
PhD
To satisfy the breadth requirement, all PhD students are required to complete 3 courses from the following lists, with no more than 1 course from each list.
If a PhD student has taken an equivalent course during a Master's program, this can be counted (upon approval from the graduate officer) towards completion of the breadth requirements, but does not reduce the total number of courses required. Likewise, students who have completed our MMath program will be able to use their MMath breadth courses toward completion of the PhD breadth requirement.
See Graduate courses for restrictions on the number of 600-level courses that can be taken from these lists.
Note: Students who started their graduate program before January 2021 may choose to satisfy either the breadth requirements above, or a grandfathered set of breadth requirements:
- Master’s students: one of AMATH 740, AMATH 741; and one of AMATH 731, AMATH 732, AMATH 751, AMATH 753, and AMATH 777.
- PhD students: one of AMATH 740, AMATH 741; one of AMATH 731, AMATH 732; and one of AMATH 751, AMATH 753, and AMATH 777.
