What it is	You study pure and applied mathematics — both the theoretical foundations and how to use them in real-world problems like engineering, finance, or science. Unlike a straight math degree, this program lets you take paid work terms at companies or organizations, so you apply what you're learning while earning and building experience. It suits students who want mathematical depth but also want to test out careers and see where math is actually used.	You enter this program without committing to a specific major, taking first-year courses across subjects like English, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. This gives you time to explore different areas of arts study before declaring a focus at the end of year one, rather than applying directly to a named program. It suits students who are interested in humanities and social sciences but unsure which direction fits them best.	Arts One is a broad first-year program that lets you explore multiple humanities and social science subjects — including anthropology, history, English, economics, and geography — before deciding on a major. Unlike applying directly to a single program, this approach gives you time to sample different disciplines and find the right fit before committing. It suits students who are curious about ideas and society but aren't yet certain which direction they want to specialize in.
