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.	A Bachelor of Science is a four-year degree where you study science subjects in depth. You choose a major like Computer Science, Environmental Studies, Mathematics, Physical Geography, or Psychology, and take courses across your field plus some complementary subjects. It suits students who want a broad science education and plan to work in research, industry, education, or graduate studies related to their major.	You earn two degrees at once: one in science (you pick a major like biology, computer science, or data science) and one in commerce (business and economics). This combined program lets you graduate with credentials in both fields rather than choosing one or the other. It suits students who want scientific or technical expertise plus business knowledge for careers that need both, like environmental consulting, tech entrepreneurship, or data analysis in industry.
