The Faculty of Science, with the Departments of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science, Economics, the Faculty of Business Administration, and the School of Computing Science, offer a major and honors in management and systems science (MSSC) at the Surrey campus leading to a BSc degree. These are highly structured programs providing a multidisciplinary approach to quantitative methods for business and industry in an environment of rapid changes in technology.
The program is managed by the Faculty of Science at the Surrey campus. A steering committee consisting of representatives from the above mentioned departments and faculty serve as liaison between participating departments and the program director. Where possible, the director and steering committee members will be based on the Surrey campus.
Students formally apply to be admitted into the program. Applications can be considered both for students entering 91ÅÝܽ, and for students already enrolled. Admission into the program is decided on a competitive basis. Students must maintain a 2.7 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) in MSSC program course work to remain in the program and to graduate. It is strongly recommended that students contact the Surrey science advisor or program director early about admission and scheduling.
Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements
Students completing degree programs must fulfil writing, quantitative and breadth requirements as part of their program. See “Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements” on page 7 for information.
Under program and University regulations, a general degree requires 44 upper division units in courses numbered 300 and above, completion of 120 units, and the major program. Completion of all lower and upper division courses shown below is required. However, students should be aware of particular department requirements for course entry. Contact those departments for information.
