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.	Statistique is a four-year degree in mathematics and statistics, where you learn to collect, analyze, and interpret data using mathematical methods. Unlike a pure math program, you focus heavily on real-world applications of statistics in fields like business, science, and public health. The co-op option lets you alternate between study terms and paid work placements, which suits students who want practical experience alongside theory.	This program teaches you mathematics and statistics at university level, with a focus on how to teach these subjects effectively to high school students. It differs from a straight mathematics degree because it includes education theory and practical teaching preparation alongside your math coursework. It suits students who enjoy mathematics and want to become secondary school teachers, or who want to keep their options open about teaching while deepening their math skills.
