University of Calgary Program Requirements (For Albertan Only)
 

University of Calgary Programs:

Currently, the University of Calgary offers more than 100 programs for students to choose from. All programs are offered under the umbrella of faculties and therefore, students must meet the two separate but equally important sets of requirements to be allowed to apply for graduation:

  1. Faculty Requirements
  2. Program Requirements

Many popular faculties such as Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Science and Haskayne School of Business require students to take Math249 (Introduction to Calculus). All student who wish to take Math249 must scored at least 70% in Math30. If not, students are required to pass Mathematics Diagnostic Test in order to be admitted into Math249. Students with Math31 should enroll in Math251 instead. As students are often poorly prepared for either Math249, the dropout and failing rates of this course remain one of the highest among all university classes.

Math249 / Math251 - Strategic Advantage:
On the other hand, Math249 remains immensely popular because it opens up options for many first years undecided students. Students are allowed to change their initial program choices in the following academic semester however, the newly chosen programs might contain very different requirements at both the Faculty and Program levels. Given that all faculties accept Math241/Math259 as one of the optional subjects, first year students can strategically enrolling in Math241 or Math259 classes to avoid delays due to changes in their later academic years.
