Prerequisitesas published	ENG4U Alternative Offers You will receive an offer of admission to only 1 program. Your highest listed choice is considered first when you indicate more than 1 Brock program on your application. If you are not eligible for your first choice, your subsequent choices will be considered in your indicated order of preference. 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.	English/Anglais (ENG4U/EAE4U preferred)	ENG4U Alternative Offers If you do not meet the admission requirements for your program of choice but do meet Lakehead University's general admission requirements, you will automatically be considered for an alternate program.

What it is	Canadian Studies is the academic examination of Canada's history, culture, and social development across different time periods and regions. You explore how Canada formed as a nation, how Indigenous peoples and immigrants shaped it, and how it relates to broader North American contexts. This program suits students interested in understanding Canada's past and present through historical and cultural analysis rather than pursuing a specialized professional credential.	An Arts and Contemporary Studies program combines the study of human culture, communication, places, and how societies preserve and interpret their past. Unlike a straight humanities degree, this program emphasizes real-world application through optional co-op placements where you work in museums, media organizations, or cultural agencies alongside your studies. It suits students curious about how people live and communicate across different cultures and time periods, who want hands-on experience before deciding on a career path.	Arts One is a broad first-year program that lets you explore multiple humanities and social science subjects — including anthropology, history, English, economics, and geography — before deciding on a major. Unlike applying directly to a single program, this approach gives you time to sample different disciplines and find the right fit before committing. It suits students who are curious about ideas and society but aren't yet certain which direction they want to specialize in.
