What you study	Architecture Design	Economics Interdisciplinary Studies Mathematics
What it is	You study the creative and technical side of designing buildings and spaces, learning to sketch ideas, understand how structures work, and use design software. This program includes mandatory work terms where you apply classroom learning to real projects with architecture and design firms. It suits people who enjoy solving visual problems, thinking in three dimensions, and want hands-on experience before committing to a full architecture degree.	This program combines pure mathematics with economics, so you study rigorous mathematical theory alongside how economies work and make decisions. Unlike a straight math or economics degree, you learn to use advanced mathematical tools to solve real economic problems. The co-op requirement means you work in industry or government for paid terms alongside your studies. It suits people who want strong quantitative skills and are curious about how markets and policy actually function.
