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 MHF4U 1 from ICS4U, MCV4U, MDM4U 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	You study the mathematical and programming foundations of artificial intelligence and data analysis, including how to build systems that learn from large datasets and make predictions. This program goes deeper into AI and statistics than a general computer science degree. It suits people who want to work with machine learning, data analysis, or AI systems and are comfortable with both math and coding.	You study pure mathematics and statistical analysis — everything from algebra and calculus to probability and data methods. This program includes optional co-op terms where you work in industry or research settings alongside your studies, giving you real experience before graduation. It suits people who want deep technical skills in mathematics or statistics and prefer learning through a mix of classroom theory and workplace application.	This program teaches you to extract useful information from large datasets using mathematics, programming, and statistics. You'll study how to build and use artificial intelligence models, manage data systems, and apply these skills to real business and financial problems. The co-op component means you'll work in relevant jobs during your studies, alternating with classroom learning. It suits people who enjoy both math and problem-solving and want practical experience applying these skills before graduation.	You study the design, development, and theory behind computer programs and systems — from artificial intelligence and game design to information management. This program lets you do paid work terms with employers alongside your classes, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. It suits students who want hands-on industry experience early and are curious about how software and systems actually work in practice.
