What it is	You study the mathematical and economic theory behind financial markets, investments, and economic systems. This combines rigorous mathematics with economics and finance, giving you tools to analyze real-world economic problems and financial instruments. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom and paid work terms with employers, building practical experience alongside theory. This program suits people who want depth in quantitative analysis and enjoy connecting abstract math to how money and economies actually work.	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.
