What it is	You study pure and applied mathematics, with courses ranging from algebra and calculus to artificial intelligence and data analysis. The co-op option means you alternate between study terms and paid work terms at companies or organizations, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. This program suits students who want strong mathematical foundations and are willing to structure their degree around multiple internships.	A three-year mathematics degree where you study pure and applied mathematics without the depth required for honours. You choose electives from computer science, physics, statistics, and economics to build a program suited to your interests rather than following a fixed honours sequence. This suits students who want solid mathematical training for careers in business, teaching, or technical fields without committing to graduate-level mathematics study.	Computing at Queen's covers the theory and practice of building software, managing information systems, and developing artificial intelligence. You'll study programming, algorithms, data structures, and mathematics that underpin these fields. The program includes a co-op option, letting you alternate between classroom and paid work terms at tech companies, which sets it apart from a standard degree and gives you real industry experience alongside your studies. It suits people who like solving problems with code and want hands-on exposure to how software gets built in actual workplaces.
