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.	Applied Mathematics is a degree program focused on using mathematical and statistical tools to solve real-world problems in science, engineering, business and other fields. Unlike pure mathematics, which emphasizes theory, applied mathematics centers on practical applications and methods you can use to model and analyze systems. Co-op is optional, letting you alternate study terms with paid work placements in relevant industries. This program suits students who enjoy mathematics and want to see how it works in actual problem-solving contexts.	You study how Earth's climate and environment work, using chemistry, physics, and geography to understand weather systems, ecosystems, and human impacts. This program combines natural science with social geography, so you examine both the physical causes of environmental change and how people and communities respond to it. It suits students curious about climate science who want hands-on experience through co-op placements alongside their coursework.
