What it is	A joint honours program combining mathematics and economics means you study both subjects equally throughout four years, learning to use mathematical methods to solve economic problems and understand quantitative analysis. Unlike a major-minor combination, you complete a full degree's worth of courses in each field. This program offers a co-op option, letting you work in related jobs during your studies. It suits people drawn to both abstract mathematics and real-world applications in business, policy, or finance.	Life Sciences at UTM lets you study how living systems work, from the structure of molecules to human health and evolution. You can focus on areas like molecular biology, biotechnology, human biology, or anthropology depending on your interests. The program includes optional co-op work terms that let you gain hands-on experience in labs, hospitals, or research settings alongside your coursework — useful if you're considering health professions or research careers.	Kinesiology is the study of human movement, exercise, and the body's response to physical activity. You'll learn anatomy, physiology, nutrition, and psychology to understand how muscles, bones, and organs work during exercise and sport. This program suits people interested in fitness science, rehabilitation, sports performance, or health promotion who want a science-based foundation before pursuing careers like personal training, physiotherapy, or exercise coaching.

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
