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 is a broad science degree where you choose from fields like biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, geology, and others. You take foundational science courses in first year, then specialize by selecting which science subjects to focus on. Co-op is available, letting you do paid work terms at science-related employers alongside your studies.	Science One is a general first-year science program that lets you explore multiple science disciplines — biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, and others — before committing to a specific major. Unlike entering directly into a single science program, you take a broader range of foundational courses to discover which field best suits you. It works well for students who are interested in science but unsure which specialization to pursue.
