Why study mathematics at CapU?
Mathematics is a universal language. Learn how to speak it and you’ll unlock doors to great jobs in business, sciences, finance, engineering and technology.
Learning mathematics may be challenging at times, but it is also rewarding. CapU stands out in our ability to give students support outside of the classroom.
Our Math Learning Centre is staffed entirely by department instructors, so you can drop in during the day for one-on-one help. You’ll also have access to study areas and reference materials.
Career paths and further education
Mathematics and Statistics courses are required for CapU programs such as the Bachelor of Science degree, engineering transfer programs, Associate of Science, and Associate of Science – Biology degrees.
A STEM degree program at any institution will require mathematics, and CapU credits can be transferred to other universities. We also offer courses for non-science majors, including for students who plan to become elementary school teachers or who need to fulfill their numeracy requirements.
Studying mathematics enhances your problem-solving and modelling skills, while statistics teaches how to read graphs, interpret data and build hypotheses.
These skills are essential for a broad range of careers, from the health and medical fields to business, computing science, engineering and technology.
