What you study	Mathematics Statistics	Computer Science General or Integrated Engineering Mathematics Statistics	Artificial Intelligence Computer Engineering Computer Science General or Integrated Engineering
What it is	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.	You study how to extract useful patterns and insights from large datasets by combining computer science and mathematics. Unlike a standalone computer science or math degree, you learn to write code, build algorithms, and apply statistical and mathematical theory specifically to solve data problems. This program suits you if you want technical depth in multiple areas and are willing to do paid work terms alongside your classes over five years.	You study how to design and build computer systems, combining software and hardware engineering with applications like artificial intelligence. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, giving you practical experience in industry while you study. It suits students who want hands-on problem-solving in computing and are willing to balance classroom learning with paid work semesters.
