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.	This is a science degree focusing on chemistry, computer science, mathematics, or physics, studied at a military college where your academic training is combined with military officer development and physical training. Unlike a civilian science program, you're committed to becoming a Canadian Armed Forces officer after graduation, which shapes your entire experience. It suits people who want advanced science training alongside leadership development and military service.	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.
