What it is	You study pure and applied mathematics along with statistics, learning how to solve problems using mathematical reasoning and data analysis. Unlike a straight math degree, you can choose to do co-op, which means you work at paid internships in industry or research between study terms. This suits people who want flexibility in their career path and value real-world experience alongside theory.	An Honours Mathematics degree means you study pure and applied mathematics at depth over four years, with required courses in calculus, algebra, analysis, and proof-based theory. Unlike a general math program, this honours stream demands rigorous mathematical reasoning and includes optional specializations through electives in computer science, physics, statistics, or economics. It suits students who enjoy abstract problem-solving and want a foundation for graduate studies or technical careers.	A Bachelor of Administration or Commerce teaches you core business skills like accounting, finance, management, and human resources, along with how organizations actually operate. The BComm adds a stronger focus on accounting and financial analysis compared to the BAdmin. Both programs include a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom and paid work at real companies, building experience while you study. This suits people who want practical business skills, like working with numbers or managing people, and who value learning on the job.
