What it is	This program teaches you business decision-making using data analysis and technology. You study management, information systems, and quantitative methods to solve real problems in organizations. It suits people who want to work in business but prefer working with numbers, systems, and analytics rather than general management or accounting alone.	You study pure and applied mathematics, with courses ranging from algebra and calculus to artificial intelligence and data analysis. The co-op option means you alternate between study terms and paid work terms at companies or organizations, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. This program suits students who want strong mathematical foundations and are willing to structure their degree around multiple internships.	This program lets you study mathematics while choosing how to apply it — through business, economics, statistics, artificial intelligence, or education. Unlike a pure mathematics degree, you're expected to connect mathematical theory to real-world problems in fields like finance, operations, or data analysis. It suits students who enjoy math but want flexibility to explore where it leads them, rather than committing to one specialty upfront.
