What it isData Science combines statistics, programming, and problem-solving to extract useful patterns and insights from large datasets. Unlike a pure computer science degree, this program emphasizes the mathematical and statistical foundation needed to analyze data rather than just building software. A co-op placement is built in, so you'll work in real data roles while studying. It suits people who enjoy both math and logic puzzles and want to solve practical business problems using data.You study how to use mathematics and statistics to solve real-world problems in engineering, science, and business. Unlike a pure mathematics program, applied mathematics focuses on practical applications rather than abstract theory. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms with employers, giving you experience in the field while you study. This program suits people who like math but want to see how it actually gets used.
