What it is	Data Science is the study of extracting useful insights from large datasets using statistics, programming, and artificial intelligence techniques. Unlike a pure statistics or computer science program, it combines all three fields to prepare you for roles where you analyze real business and research problems. It suits people who enjoy math and coding and want to work with data across many industries.	You study pure and applied mathematics, with courses ranging from algebra and calculus to artificial intelligence and data analysis. The co-op option means you alternate between study terms and paid work terms at companies or organizations, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. This program suits students who want strong mathematical foundations and are willing to structure their degree around multiple internships.	Management and Organizational Studies teaches you the fundamentals of how to run businesses and lead teams. You'll study accounting, finance, marketing, and how organizations use technology to operate effectively. This is a broad business program rather than a specialized professional accounting or finance degree, and it suits people who want flexible career options across multiple business functions rather than committing early to a single specialization.
