What you study	Mathematics	Mathematics Statistics	Accounting Business Studies Economics 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.	A BA in Mathematics at York means you study pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and statistics — the theory behind numbers, equations, and data analysis. You can choose to do the program with co-op, which means you alternate between semesters of coursework and paid work terms at employers who need mathematical problem-solving skills. This suits people who want flexibility in how they learn and who value real-world experience alongside classroom study.	A Bachelor of Commerce is a four-year degree where you study business topics like accounting, finance, marketing, and management. In your first year, you take a mix of foundational courses across all these areas before choosing a specialization in second year. It suits students interested in how organizations work and make decisions, who want flexibility to explore different business fields before committing to one.
