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 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.
