What it is	Actuarial Science is the study of statistics, mathematics, and financial risk — you learn to analyze and predict the likelihood and cost of future events to help insurance companies, pension funds, and other businesses make sound financial decisions. It goes deeper into applied math and probability than a general science degree, preparing you for actuarial certification exams. This program suits students who are strong in math, enjoy working with data and logic, and want to move into financial risk management or insurance.	You study pure and applied mathematics along with statistics, learning how to solve problems using mathematical reasoning and data analysis. Unlike a straight math degree, you can choose to do co-op, which means you work at paid internships in industry or research between study terms. This suits people who want flexibility in their career path and value real-world experience alongside theory.	You study pure mathematics and statistical analysis — everything from algebra and calculus to probability and data methods. This program includes optional co-op terms where you work in industry or research settings alongside your studies, giving you real experience before graduation. It suits people who want deep technical skills in mathematics or statistics and prefer learning through a mix of classroom theory and workplace application.
