When more than 1 Brock program is indicated on the application, the highest choice listed for Brock will be considered first. If you are not eligible for the first choice, we will consider your subsequent choices in the order of preference you have indicated. In most cases: If you apply to only 1 Brock program but do not qualify, you will be considered for an alternative or related program. If you apply but are not admitted to a co-op program, you will automatically be considered for the regular, non-co-op program.	ENG4U or FRA4U	FRA4U or ENG4U

What it is	General Humanities in Modern Languages lets you study foreign languages alongside literature, history, culture, and social sciences. Unlike a single-language specialist program, this combines breadth across multiple disciplines with language skills, so you build both fluency and deeper understanding of how language connects to society and culture. It suits students who want to work internationally or in cross-cultural fields but aren't yet certain about focusing on one language alone.	You study a combination of philosophy, modern languages, and translation, rather than specializing in just one field. This interdisciplinary approach lets you explore how these subjects connect and inform each other, building flexibility in how you think about language and meaning. It suits students who are curious across multiple areas and want breadth alongside depth before deciding on a specific direction.	You study a mix of subjects that work together — philosophy, modern languages, translation, and topics that bridge different fields. Unlike a traditional single-subject degree, this program lets you design connections across disciplines rather than diving deep into one. It suits students who think across boundaries, want to keep options open, and are comfortable building their own intellectual path.
