What it isData science combines statistics, programming, and practical problem-solving to extract useful information from large sets of data. You'll learn to write code, build mathematical models, and communicate what the data reveals to non-technical people. This program suits students who enjoy both math and computer science and want to apply technical skills to real-world questions across business, health, science, and other fields.Life Sciences is a broad study of living organisms, their cells, genetics, and chemistry at the molecular level. You'll take core courses in biology, chemistry, and biochemistry, then choose a focus like microbiology, biotechnology, or human biology depending on your interests. The co-op option lets you alternate between school and paid work terms in research labs, hospitals, or biotech companies, giving you real experience alongside your degree.
