Prerequisitesas published	Six 4U/M credits, including English (ENG4U) Advanced Functions (MHF4U) One of Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U), Physics (SPH4U) or Computer Science (ICS4U). We recommend you take all 3 of these courses. A combined minimum 70% average in prerequisite computer science, math and science courses is required. Alternative Offers +1 more on the program page	OSSD with an overall academic average of at least 70% in six 4U/M courses, including English 4U with a minimum final grade of 70%	ENG4U Two 4U math (min. 75% in each) 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.	ENG4U or FRA4U MHF4U or MCV4U One of the following: SBI4U, SCH4U, ISC4U, SPH4U Students who do not have the 4U Math prerequisite can take the replacement course at the University either the summer before or during their first year.

What it is	Data Science focuses on collecting, analyzing, and interpreting large amounts of data to solve real-world problems using statistics, mathematics, and computer programming. The BSc&Mgt variant adds business courses alongside the technical ones, preparing you for leadership roles in data-driven organizations. This program suits people who enjoy both math and computers, want hands-on problem-solving skills, and appreciate learning how to turn raw data into decisions.	Digital Futures is a design and fine arts program where you study visual storytelling through digital tools and media, combining animation, graphic design, coding, and art. Unlike traditional design or fine art streams, it's built around interdisciplinary collaboration and real-world projects that blend artistic creativity with digital technology and communication. It suits people who want to create visually, think critically about media, and work across both artistic and technical domains.	You study how to use data and statistical tools to solve problems in finance and banking. The program combines computer science, mathematics, and finance, so you learn to build models and analyze trends rather than just learning finance theory or coding separately. It includes paid work terms with employers, giving you real experience before you graduate. This suits people who want a technical, analytical career in financial institutions or companies that rely on data to make decisions.	You study computer science and design together in a hands-on, project-based way rather than as separate subjects. The program emphasizes learning through real problems and experimentation, so you'll build working projects alongside traditional coursework. This suits people who want to understand how technology and design connect and prefer learning by doing.
