"The Financial Math program at [TMU] is exceptional because of the knowledge and skill set you will gain. The farther you are in the program, the more choices of career paths you can see. I changed my mind several times throughout my undergrad, but am now planning on a career in data science, and am excited to start implementing everything I’ve learned.”
