Studying literature enhances our understanding of the complex ways in which words produce meaning, and the equally complex ways in which literature produces meaning - and how we also produce meaning when we read. Writing and communicating effectively are invaluable assets in a wide variety of fields including: education, publishing, journalism, administration, business, politics, editing, publications research, novel writing, technical writing and law.

Students interested in studying English at Lakehead University will learn how to write and communicate effectively, think creatively and critically, construct valid arguments, analyze a wide variety of texts and arguments, develop distinctive aptitudes and intellectual abilities, and more about the diverse cultures and contexts in which we live our lives.

Computer Science is a dynamic area that has and will continue to drive innovation. Therefore, a key part of our education is about the knowledge and skills needed in order to capture the new technologies of the future. The following are some of our educational aims:

• Practical experience and theoretical understanding of design methods for the specification, programming and analysis of a wide range of computing systems.
• The ability to plan and accomplish a substantial project.
• Experience in co-operative working through team projects, with their demands on the management of partners and time. 
• Skills in written and oral communication.
• The ability and confidence to learn, unaided, new subjects and to locate and critically evaluate information.
• High quality training at the graduate level for both industrial and further advanced study paths
• An appreciation of the environmental impact of computer and network technologies and the skills to limit this impact with innovative approaches

Our Department is small enough to give undergraduate students direct access to the professors along with ample access to high-end computing equipment.  We cover a broad range of computer science material  including current object oriented software development technologies, web technologies, computer security, artificial intelligence, networking and  related hardware technology, computer graphics, and a range of theoretical computing topics. Additionally, we include in many of our courses examples relating to current areas of interest and employer demand such as game programming, internet applications, mobile programming  and computer security.
