What it is	Statistique is a four-year degree in mathematics and statistics, where you learn to collect, analyze, and interpret data using mathematical methods. Unlike a pure math program, you focus heavily on real-world applications of statistics in fields like business, science, and public health. The co-op option lets you alternate between study terms and paid work placements, which suits students who want practical experience alongside theory.	This program lets you study how societies, economies, and cultures interact across borders, drawing from fields like history, anthropology, economics, and international development. You'll examine global issues through multiple lenses rather than specializing in one discipline. It suits students curious about world affairs and international problems who want flexibility to explore different approaches before deciding on a deeper focus.	Social Science is a broad study of how people, societies, and economies work. You choose a focus like economics, anthropology, history, or business studies, then take courses across that field. Western offers this as either a BA or BSc depending on your focus, and you can do it with co-op, meaning you alternate between school terms and paid work placements in your field.
