What it isYou study mathematics with applications to science and engineering problems — pure math combined with practical problem-solving in physics, chemistry, and biology. The BSc&Mgt option adds business and management courses, giving you both technical and organizational skills. The program includes mandatory co-op terms, so you work in industry alongside your studies, gaining real experience in research labs, tech companies, or engineering firms. This suits people who want deep mathematical skills but also want to see how those skills apply to actual scientific and technical work.This is a science degree focusing on chemistry, computer science, mathematics, or physics, studied at a military college where your academic training is combined with military officer development and physical training. Unlike a civilian science program, you're committed to becoming a Canadian Armed Forces officer after graduation, which shapes your entire experience. It suits people who want advanced science training alongside leadership development and military service.You study the science of living systems — cells, organisms, genetics, and disease — with flexible depth depending on which specialization you choose. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at research labs, hospitals, or biotech companies, building real experience alongside your degree. This stream suits students drawn to biology and chemistry who want either a traditional path or the chance to test careers in health and life sciences before graduating.Life Sciences is a broad study of how living things work, from individual cells and genetics to whole organisms and ecosystems. You'll choose a focus area like microbiology, human biology, genetics, or plant science, and take courses across biology, chemistry, and related fields. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work placements in research labs, hospitals, or biotech companies, giving you real experience alongside your degree.
