At Laurier Waterloo, the Financial Mathematics and Analytics programs teach you to apply mathematics, statistics and data-analytic methods to real-world challenges in finance and risk management. Through use of industry software, problem-based projects and math labs, you’ll gain experience in analyzing financial data and risks, valuing investments, evaluating complex securities, modeling instruments and managing liabilities. The Bachelor of Arts (BA) develops theoretical, computational and practical knowledge for careers in finance, management, government or the tech sector, or for graduate studies. The Bachelor of Science (BSc) combines mathematics and finance with natural, physical and computer sciences, preparing you for technical roles or advanced study. Tailor either degree with two optional concentrations. |
