What you study	Mathematics Statistics	Information Systems Mathematics Statistics
What it is	You study the mathematical methods for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. The program is heavy on probability, theory, and computational skills rather than applied data science alone. The co-op stream lets you work in an actual job for four months at a time between semesters, giving you real workplace experience alongside coursework. This suits students who want rigorous math training and the chance to apply it early in actual industries like finance, health care, or government.	You study the mathematics and computer science behind solving real-world problems with data and algorithms. This program combines pure mathematics, statistics, and information systems rather than focusing on just coding or theoretical math alone. A mandatory co-op component means you'll work in industry during your degree, giving you practical experience alongside classroom learning. It suits people who enjoy both math and problem-solving and want to see how their skills apply in actual jobs.
