What you study	Business Studies Mathematics	Business Studies Mathematics
What it is	You study both business and mathematics together in one integrated degree, with mandatory work terms built into your schedule. Unlike a regular double degree where you'd finish one program then move to the other, you take courses from both fields simultaneously over five years, alternating between school and paid co-op placements. This suits students who want to combine analytical problem-solving with business skills and are willing to commit to the longer timeline and work requirement.	You study both mathematics and business administration together, learning quantitative methods, statistics, and economics alongside accounting, management, and strategy. Unlike a straight math or business degree, this combination trains you to apply mathematical reasoning to real business problems. The co-op option lets you alternate between study terms and paid work terms, giving you practical experience in finance, analytics, or operations. This program suits people who want technical skills for business careers rather than pure mathematics or general business management.
