i dunno... but it sounds doable since it requires less units... you would probably have to see an academic advisor

When in doubt, surf the registrar!
Edit: Or if that's not what you're looking for, you can always do a 3 yr bachelors, and then in one additional year, get a second bachelors degree in essentially any field. (The only thing is, you need the same req. for the program that a person going into level two would...ie: Math 1A0/1AA, etc.)

On a second degree in mathematics:
http://www.math.mcmaster.ca/undergra...nchor1 264616
Note: that website is a tad dated. The 'applied mathematics' and 'mathematics' specialisations have been merged. 'Mathematics' was 'pure mathematics'. You can still fulfill them, in a way - there's differential equations/dynamical systems options on the new 'mathematics specialisation' course-list if you're interested in applied math, while the abstract algebra/analysis/etc. remains if you want to do pure math. I'm guessing that you'd take more applied math or stats, since you're in economics...

I would like to add that it depends on how many courses overlap b/w the two degrees.
I did a BSc degree in biology and pharmacology and now I am doing a BA in health studies. I was initially going to stay in the science faculty for my second degree but I took so many undergrad science courses in the first degree that the only second degree I could really do was psychology (Since I didn't really take psychs in the first degree). Applying to med school and I felt like a soc sci background in health studies would be more beneficial for me.
You should book an appointment with a faculty adviser they will help you find out what you can do...they helped me

Just out of curiosity, how long would the BA take you, since a lot of your BSc courses probably don't count towards it?

You can do it in around 2 years, but you would be taking exclusively required classes. The only problem would be if certain courses are only offered once a year, as that would extend the time period if you have to say, take four courses only offered on a yearly basis.
