What you study	Statistics	Business Studies Economics Mathematics Statistics	Business Studies Mathematics
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.	Data Science is the study of extracting useful insights and predictions from large amounts of data using mathematics, statistics, and computer programming. This program combines mathematics and statistics with practical business and economics applications, so you learn both the theory behind data analysis and how to apply it to real-world problems. It suits people who enjoy working with numbers and want to understand how organizations use data to make decisions, especially if you want hands-on workplace experience through co-op placements.	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.
