What it isYou study how to design, build, and maintain software systems and applications, from the coding and logic to the architecture that makes programs run. This program includes hands-on projects in artificial intelligence and computer engineering alongside core software development. The co-op placement is required, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate.Actuarial Science is the study of risk and uncertainty using mathematics, statistics, and business analysis to help insurance companies, pension funds, and other organizations make financial decisions. Unlike a pure mathematics degree, this program focuses on applied problem-solving for real-world financial scenarios. The co-op option lets you work in the field while studying, giving you practical experience alongside your coursework. This program suits people who enjoy mathematics and statistics, think logically about complex problems, and want a career with strong technical foundations and professional prospects.This program lets you study mathematics while choosing how to apply it — through business, economics, statistics, artificial intelligence, or education. Unlike a pure mathematics degree, you're expected to connect mathematical theory to real-world problems in fields like finance, operations, or data analysis. It suits students who enjoy math but want flexibility to explore where it leads them, rather than committing to one specialty upfront.
