What it is	This program combines mathematics, statistics, and computer science to prepare you for work with data. The "Pathway" structure means you'll study foundational theory first, then specialize in one area as you progress. The mandatory co-op placements let you apply what you're learning in real workplaces while you study. It suits people who want to move beyond pure math into practical problem-solving with data and code.	You study pure mathematics and statistical analysis — everything from algebra and calculus to probability and data methods. This program includes optional co-op terms where you work in industry or research settings alongside your studies, giving you real experience before graduation. It suits people who want deep technical skills in mathematics or statistics and prefer learning through a mix of classroom theory and workplace application.	You study how to extract useful patterns and insights from large datasets by combining computer science and mathematics. Unlike a standalone computer science or math degree, you learn to write code, build algorithms, and apply statistical and mathematical theory specifically to solve data problems. This program suits you if you want technical depth in multiple areas and are willing to do paid work terms alongside your classes over five years.	You study how to use mathematics and statistics to solve real-world problems in engineering, science, and business. Unlike a pure mathematics program, applied mathematics focuses on practical applications rather than abstract theory. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms with employers, giving you experience in the field while you study. This program suits people who like math but want to see how it actually gets used.
