About the Course:

As a BBA/BMath student, students will pursue two degrees in roughly the same amount of time as a student pursuing a single degree program. To do this, they will spend time learning business and economics by taking courses on the Laurier campus and then math and computer science by taking courses on the Waterloo campus. The program is designed for them to learn all of the same business and economics concepts as a student studying only Business Administration and the same math and computer science concepts as a student only studying Mathematics. At the end of their studies, they will attend two graduations and earn two degrees from two internationally-recognized universities. BBA/BMath students have one less co-op requirement than most other programs allowing them to fit in their additional courses. To complete 52 courses, however, they will have more courses per term than a traditional student that studies only 40 courses, taking 5 classes a term, to earn their degree.

Laurier and Waterloo partner to offer the BBA/BMath program but manage admissions separately. Since it is competitive for entry, it is recommended that students apply to both universities. Regardless of the university that they apply to, the program is identical: the courses are the same, the schedule is the same, and students take classes at each campus. If admitted at Waterloo for BBA/BMath, students will use the residence, co-op, and scholarships offered by Waterloo and it will be known as their “home” institution. They will not have access to these options through Laurier. The same is true for students admitted through Laurier, they will access the residence, co-op, and scholarship opportunities offered by this school, but not at Waterloo.
