What it is	Financial Mathematics and Economics is a mathematics-based degree that combines the study of economic systems and financial markets with advanced math and statistics. Unlike a pure economics or pure mathematics program, it trains you to use mathematical models and analysis to solve real-world problems in finance and economics. It suits students who want rigorous quantitative training and are interested in how money, markets, and economies actually work.	You study science and business together in one program, combining technical subjects like chemistry or biology with courses in marketing, entrepreneurship, and business strategy. Unlike a regular science degree with a business minor added on, this program integrates both throughout, so you learn how science discoveries become commercial products. The co-op option lets you alternate school terms with paid work placements. This suits students who want a science background but also care about bringing ideas to market or running a company.	You study business management and related fields like accounting, human resources, or entrepreneurship while alternating between classroom terms and paid work terms with employers. This co-op structure means you graduate with real workplace experience alongside your degree. The dual degree option lets you complete part of your studies at a partner institution abroad, typically NEOMA Business School in France, combining international education with Canadian credentials. This suits students who want hands-on business experience, practical skills, and potentially a global perspective before entering the workforce.	A Bachelor of Commerce is a four-year degree where you study business topics like accounting, finance, marketing, and management. In your first year, you take a mix of foundational courses across all these areas before choosing a specialization in second year. It suits students interested in how organizations work and make decisions, who want flexibility to explore different business fields before committing to one.
