d) What other similar programs are offered at Brock University?

Statistics1 - The Statistics specialization provides students with solid training in advanced statistical

analysis and in computational methods and applications to stochastic models.

Earth Science2 - The field of Earth sciences is central in solving current problems such as waste

disposal, pollution, groundwater management, volcano and earthquake hazards. It is also vital in the

exploration and utilization of natural resources such as oil and gas, minerals and aggregates. A very

important area of research in the Earth sciences aims to determine how the planet has evolved from its

origin 4.6 billion years ago to the present. Earth's rocks and sediment provide a long record of global

change in response to a variety of stimuli. Many Earth scientists are involved in the unravelling of this

record of global change and in predicting future changes to the planet.

Interactive Arts and Science3 - As a unique interdisciplinary area of study, the Interactive Arts and

Science (IASC) program prepares the next generation of digital media innovators and scholars. You’ll

focus on the intersection of interactive technologies and the humanities — gaining new digital media

creation skills along the way.
