What you study	Business Studies Mathematics	Astronomy Chemistry Geology Materials Science
What it is	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.	This program combines foundational study in mathematics with hands-on work in chemistry, physics, astronomy, geology, and related fields. You'll take core courses in pure and applied mathematics alongside lab work and theory in the physical sciences, giving you breadth rather than specialization in a single discipline. It suits students drawn to quantitative problem-solving across multiple scientific areas who want flexibility to explore before committing to a specific path.
