What it is	This program teaches you mathematics and statistics at university level, with a focus on how to teach these subjects effectively to high school students. It differs from a straight mathematics degree because it includes education theory and practical teaching preparation alongside your math coursework. It suits students who enjoy mathematics and want to become secondary school teachers, or who want to keep their options open about teaching while deepening their math skills.	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.	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.
