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.	Applied Mathematics is a degree program focused on using mathematical and statistical tools to solve real-world problems in science, engineering, business and other fields. Unlike pure mathematics, which emphasizes theory, applied mathematics centers on practical applications and methods you can use to model and analyze systems. Co-op is optional, letting you alternate study terms with paid work placements in relevant industries. This program suits students who enjoy mathematics and want to see how it works in actual problem-solving contexts.	You study the mathematical methods for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. The program is heavy on probability, theory, and computational skills rather than applied data science alone. The co-op stream lets you work in an actual job for four months at a time between semesters, giving you real workplace experience alongside coursework. This suits students who want rigorous math training and the chance to apply it early in actual industries like finance, health care, or government.
