What it is	Actuarial Science is the study of risk and uncertainty using mathematics, statistics, and business analysis to help insurance companies, pension funds, and other organizations make financial decisions. Unlike a pure mathematics degree, this program focuses on applied problem-solving for real-world financial scenarios. The co-op option lets you work in the field while studying, giving you practical experience alongside your coursework. This program suits people who enjoy mathematics and statistics, think logically about complex problems, and want a career with strong technical foundations and professional prospects.	A Business Economics degree combines the study of how economies work with practical business skills like accounting, finance, and data analysis. Unlike a pure Economics program, you'll spend equal time on business applications and economic theory. This suits students interested in understanding markets, organizations, and financial systems from both theoretical and applied angles.	A Bachelor of Commerce is a four-year degree where you study business topics like accounting, finance, marketing, and management. In your first year, you take a mix of foundational courses across all these areas before choosing a specialization in second year. It suits students interested in how organizations work and make decisions, who want flexibility to explore different business fields before committing to one.
