What you study	Mathematics	Business Studies Mathematics	Business StudiesManagement ScienceMarketing Others in Business & Administrative Studies
What it is	You study pure and applied mathematics — algebra, calculus, geometry, and how to solve real problems with math. The co-op stream lets you alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms at companies or research labs, giving you practical experience alongside theory. This suits people who want to test whether they prefer pure mathematics, data work, or applied roles in industry before committing to a specialization.	You study both business and mathematics together in one integrated degree, with mandatory work terms built into your schedule. Unlike a regular double degree where you'd finish one program then move to the other, you take courses from both fields simultaneously over five years, alternating between school and paid co-op placements. This suits students who want to combine analytical problem-solving with business skills and are willing to commit to the longer timeline and work requirement.	You study business and management in both French and English, earning credentials recognized in both Canada and France. Unlike a regular business degree, this program is structured as a formal partnership where you complete requirements at University of Ottawa and a French institution, giving you bilingual professional training. It suits students who are fluent in French, want international business experience, and value studying in two languages and education systems.
