[edit] Duration

A BMath program generally lasts three years with a fourth "honours" year in Canada and Australia. BMath programs are increasingly taking about five years to complete because coop or internship placements.

[edit] Difference between the BMath and BSc/BS or BA

In practice, this is essentially equivalent to a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree with a specialty in mathematics. Relatively few institutions award Bachelor of Mathematics degrees, and the distinction between institutions which do award such degrees and those which award B.Sc or B.A. degrees for mathematics is usually one of university bureaucracy, rather than curriculum. However, schools who offer a Bachelor of Mathematics degree argue for a separate degree as the study of mathematics is vastly different from any branch in science or arts.
