| 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. | Applied Mathematics is a degree program focused on using mathematical and statistical tools to solve real-world problems in science, engineering, business and other fields. Unlike pure mathematics, which emphasizes theory, applied mathematics centers on practical applications and methods you can use to model and analyze systems. Co-op is optional, letting you alternate study terms with paid work placements in relevant industries. This program suits students who enjoy mathematics and want to see how it works in actual problem-solving contexts. | This pathway lets you study the fundamental sciences — physics, chemistry, astronomy, mathematics, and biology — together rather than committing to a single discipline right away. You'll take core courses across all these fields in your first year, then gradually specialize based on your interests. The included co-op option means you'll do work terms in research labs or industry, giving you hands-on experience alongside your coursework. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
