What you study	Education Studies	Accounting Mathematics Statistics	Aboriginal Studies Computer Science Education Studies English Studies
What it is	You study how education works — teaching methods, learning science, school systems, and the social side of how people learn — rather than training to teach in a classroom. This program includes co-op work terms where you gain real experience in schools and education settings alongside your coursework. It suits students curious about education as a field of study who want hands-on experience before deciding whether to pursue teaching, educational leadership, or other education-related careers.	Actuarial Science is the study of statistics, mathematics, and financial risk — you learn to analyze and predict the likelihood and cost of future events to help insurance companies, pension funds, and other businesses make sound financial decisions. It goes deeper into applied math and probability than a general science degree, preparing you for actuarial certification exams. This program suits students who are strong in math, enjoy working with data and logic, and want to move into financial risk management or insurance.	You study an arts subject like English, history, or mathematics alongside teacher training designed for elementary and early middle school classrooms. You complete both a bachelor's degree and teaching credentials in four years instead of five, combining academic courses with education theory and practice teaching. This suits students certain they want to teach their subject to younger students and want to finish their degree and teaching qualification together.
