| What it is | You study the mathematics of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data to answer questions and solve real-world problems. The co-op option lets you do paid work terms at employers who use statistics, alternating with school semesters, so you can test the work before committing fully. This suits people who want hands-on experience in their field while they learn, or who are still deciding whether applied statistics work appeals to them. | A program where you study pure mathematics and applied statistics together, building strong foundations in both subjects before specializing. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at employers who use these skills. It suits students who enjoy both abstract problem-solving and real-world data analysis, and who want work experience alongside their degree. |
