What it is	You study pure mathematics and statistics — how numbers, patterns, and data work at a theoretical level and in real applications. The Bachelor of Science version includes lab-based sciences alongside the math, while the Arts version focuses on math and statistics alone. This program suits students who enjoy abstract problem-solving and want to build strong analytical skills, whether for advanced study, data analysis, or fields that depend on mathematical reasoning.	You study pure mathematics and statistical analysis — everything from algebra and calculus to probability and data methods. This program includes optional co-op terms where you work in industry or research settings alongside your studies, giving you real experience before graduation. It suits people who want deep technical skills in mathematics or statistics and prefer learning through a mix of classroom theory and workplace application.	This program teaches you mathematics and statistics at university level, with a focus on how to teach these subjects effectively to high school students. It differs from a straight mathematics degree because it includes education theory and practical teaching preparation alongside your math coursework. It suits students who enjoy mathematics and want to become secondary school teachers, or who want to keep their options open about teaching while deepening their math skills.
