| 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. | Physical Sciences is a broad first-year program where you study foundational chemistry, physics, mathematics, and biology before choosing a specialization in second year. The co-op option means you alternate between study and paid work terms at companies or research labs, giving you real experience in your field. This program suits students who are strong in math and science but not yet certain which specific physical science direction — from astronomy to polymer chemistry — they want to pursue. | You study the natural systems that support life on Earth — combining biology, chemistry, geology, and geography to understand ecosystems, environmental problems, and how living things interact with their physical surroundings. This pathway is structured to integrate multiple science disciplines rather than focus narrowly on one, and it includes mandatory co-operative work terms where you apply classroom learning to real environmental jobs. It suits students curious about how nature works across scales, from molecules to landscapes, who want hands-on experience before deciding on a specific environmental career. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
