| 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 program teaches you to design and build complex systems by combining computer science, engineering, and design thinking. Unlike a traditional engineering degree, it emphasizes creative problem-solving and working across different disciplines rather than specializing in one field. It suits students who want to develop technology solutions but enjoy visual design and teamwork as much as technical coding. | You study computer science and design together in a hands-on, project-based way rather than as separate subjects. The program emphasizes learning through real problems and experimentation, so you'll build working projects alongside traditional coursework. This suits people who want to understand how technology and design connect and prefer learning by doing. |
