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.	You study the mathematics and computer science behind solving real-world problems with data and algorithms. This program combines pure mathematics, statistics, and information systems rather than focusing on just coding or theoretical math alone. A mandatory co-op component means you'll work in industry during your degree, giving you practical experience alongside classroom learning. It suits people who enjoy both math and problem-solving and want to see how their skills apply in actual jobs.	You study how to use mathematics and statistics to solve real-world problems in engineering, science, and business. Unlike a pure mathematics program, applied mathematics focuses on practical applications rather than abstract theory. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms with employers, giving you experience in the field while you study. This program suits people who like math but want to see how it actually gets used.
