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.	Honours Science is a broad science degree where you choose your major from fields like biology, chemistry, environmental science, computer science, or archaeology. Unlike a general science program, an honours degree requires you to specialize in one subject and complete more advanced courses in that area. It suits students who want a strong grounding in science but haven't yet decided on one specific career path, or who want deeper knowledge in a particular field.	This program lets you design your own degree by combining courses from multiple fields — anthropology, chemistry, English, history, philosophy, law, media studies, and others — rather than following a single major. You choose which subjects to focus on and how much depth in each, creating a customized path that suits your interests. It works well if you're curious about several areas and want flexibility to explore across disciplines before committing to one specialization.
