What you study	Mathematics	Accounting Artificial Intelligence Business Studies Finance
What it is	You study pure and applied mathematics: algebra, calculus, geometry, logic, and problem-solving with numbers and abstract structures. The BA leans toward theory and breadth across disciplines; the BSc goes deeper into mathematics itself and how it connects to physics and science. The co-op option lets you work terms in industry, education, or research alongside your classes, which suits people who want real-world experience or need to test whether they prefer theory or applied work.	You study business fundamentals across accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources, with options to specialize in areas like artificial intelligence applications or data management. Unlike a general business degree, this program includes mandatory co-op work terms, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid jobs with employers. It suits people who want practical workplace experience alongside their business education and are ready to commit time to both studying and working.
