What it is	This program combines pure mathematics with economics, so you study rigorous mathematical theory alongside how economies work and make decisions. Unlike a straight math or economics degree, you learn to use advanced mathematical tools to solve real economic problems. The co-op requirement means you work in industry or government for paid terms alongside your studies. It suits people who want strong quantitative skills and are curious about how markets and policy actually function.	Professional Translation is a program where you study how to translate texts, documents, and media between English and French at an advanced level. Unlike a general language degree, it focuses specifically on translation skills and techniques across different fields like business, law, media, and literature. It suits people who are fluent in both English and French and want to turn that skill into a career.	A three-year Bachelor of Arts lets you choose from humanities and social science subjects like history, English, anthropology, geography, and environmental studies. Unlike an honours degree, you complete fewer credits overall and have more flexibility to explore different fields or combine subjects without specializing deeply in one. This suits students who want a broad liberal arts education or who are still deciding what to focus on.
