What it isThis 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.Social Sciences I is a first-year entry point where you explore human behaviour, society, and social systems through subjects like economics, sociology, anthropology, politics, and social work. Unlike a specialized program, you sample multiple disciplines before declaring a focus, letting you discover which area — from international development to health policy — matches your interests. It suits students curious about how societies work and drawn to understanding people and social issues from different angles.A three-year mathematics degree where you study pure and applied mathematics without the depth required for honours. You choose electives from computer science, physics, statistics, and economics to build a program suited to your interests rather than following a fixed honours sequence. This suits students who want solid mathematical training for careers in business, teaching, or technical fields without committing to graduate-level mathematics study.
