What it is	A program where you study pure mathematics and applied statistics together, building strong foundations in both subjects before specializing. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at employers who use these skills. It suits students who enjoy both abstract problem-solving and real-world data analysis, and who want work experience alongside their degree.	This program teaches you how to manage engineering projects and operations by combining business decision-making with technical knowledge of systems, data analysis, and software. Unlike a straight engineering degree, it focuses equally on the management and optimization side of engineering work, drawing from fields like operations research and artificial intelligence. It suits students who are strong in math and science but interested in leadership roles, problem-solving with data, and working on real problems through mandatory paid work terms.	You study business fundamentals across accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and information systems. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at companies, giving you real experience alongside your degree. This suits students who learn better by doing and want to build a professional network before graduating.
