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 mathematics, statistics, and finance together to understand how to measure and manage financial risk in banks, investment firms, and insurance companies. Unlike a straight business degree, this program emphasizes the quantitative and mathematical tools that financial professionals actually use to model markets and predict uncertainty. The co-op option lets you work in the industry while you study. This program suits people who are comfortable with advanced math and want to apply it to real-world financial problems.	You study business management combined with advanced mathematics and data analysis for finance. This dual program goes deeper into quantitative methods than a standard business degree, letting you build models and analyse financial data rather than just learning business theory. It suits students who are comfortable with math, want finance careers, and prefer hands-on problem-solving over pure theory.	A Bachelor of Commerce is a four-year business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and management. McMaster's program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience at real companies. This program suits people who want broad business knowledge and practical work experience before entering the job market.
