Summary of Year One Courses
For Students With Advanced Standing (Transfer Credits) › › › › ›
For students granted advanced standing, you will need to view the academic calendar for course descriptions and particular program requirements: westerncalendar.uwo.ca If you are transferring from another university, you must submit all previous course descriptions to Enrolment Services at King’s a minimum of two weeks prior to your scheduled SAO appointment. It is important to come to your SAO appointment with some idea of the courses you wish to take. You can read through potential courses in the Academic Calendar. If you have fewer than 5.0 courses awarded at the first year level (numbered 1000 - 1999), please review the summary of year one courses and have a list of possible selections. If you are thinking about professional programs (i.e. Social Work, Education) or graduate school, please be advised that there may be specific pre-requisites. Be sure to check with your academic counsellor at your SAO appointment. Specific academic requirements must be met to receive a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in any discipline. It is your responsibility to be aware of these requirements, so please frequently refer to Western's Academic Calendar and King's program checklists.

10 First Year Handbook & SAO Guide
Management & Organizational Studies This course provides students with an additional mathematics half-course option to meet BMOS requirements. When taken in combination with Calculus 1000A/B, the combination will offer a richer exposure to both Calculus and Linear Algebra than the Math 1230A/B, 1229A/B combination; and when taken with Calculus 1301A/B, will allow for the possibility of further study in Math.
Economics, Mathematical Sciences, Most Science Programs, Higher Level Math Courses (Applied Math, Mathematics and Statistical & Actuarial Sciences) A 0.5 course from Math 1230A/B, Calculus 1000A/B or Calculus 1100A/B and a 0.5 course from Math 1229A/B, Calculus 1301A/B, 1501A/B or Linear Algebra will be required for all modules in Economics (with the exception of the minor), the Major in Finance, as well as for Economics 2123A/B. The latter two economics half courses may be taken in partial fulfillment of the BA program in Economics or the Finance & Administration stream of the BMOS. Check the math requirements for courses in the second year of the program of interest Calculus 1000A/B is the more rigorous version than Math 1225A/B and should be suggested to students who have grades above 70% on the prerequisite and who wish to take additional math courses or who wish to pursue studies in the Mathematical Sciences.
Economics, Mathematical Sciences, Most Science Programs, Higher Level Math, Management and Organizational Studies Calculus 1301A/B is a slightly weaker course than Calculus 1501A/B. 1501A/B is intended primarily for students intending to pursue studies in Actuarial Science, Astronomy, Applied Mathematics, Mathematics, Physics or Statistics. Calculus 1301A/B is satisfactory for most other programs requiring a full year of calculus. For programs other than those in the Social Sciences, minimum average requirements would need to be met to apply the courses towards the degree. Please refer to the Academic Calendar for specific program requirements. Math 1228A/B and Statistical Science 1024A/B are required for all modules in Psychology (with the exception of the Minor in Psychology), because the course is not antirequisite to other statistics courses, students may take the course for either exploratory or preparatory reasons. Math 1228A/B, although not an official prerequisite, is excellent preparation for Statistical Sciences 1024A/B.
