What it is	This program teaches you how to collect, analyze, and interpret data using mathematical methods and software tools. Unlike a pure mathematics degree, you focus on applying statistical techniques to real-world problems in business, science, and public policy. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom study and paid work terms, suiting students who want practical experience alongside theory.	You study computer science and mathematics together over five years, learning how to write code, analyse data, and solve problems using mathematical theory and statistical methods. Unlike a single major, this double degree gives you depth in both fields so you can build algorithms and understand the theory behind them. It suits people who want flexibility between pure mathematics and applied programming, and who value alternating work terms with their studies.
