What it is	You study how to use mathematics and statistics to solve real-world problems in engineering, science, and business. Unlike a pure mathematics program, applied mathematics focuses on practical applications rather than abstract theory. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms with employers, giving you experience in the field while you study. This program suits people who like math but want to see how it actually gets used.	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.

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
