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.

What it is	Critical Criminology examines why crimes happen and how criminal justice systems work, focusing on how power, inequality, and social structures shape both crime and punishment. Unlike traditional criminology, which mainly studies criminal behaviour itself, this program questions whether laws and enforcement are fair and who benefits from the current system. It suits students interested in understanding crime as a social problem rather than just studying offenders.	You study chemistry and biochemistry alongside music performance or theory over five years, earning two degrees at once. Unlike a single major, you commit equal time to both fields, which means rigorous lab work and science courses paired with music ensemble, applied lessons, or composition. This suits students who have genuine strength and passion in both science and the arts, and want to pursue careers that might combine them or keep both paths open.	This is a broad science degree where you choose from fields like biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, geology, and others. You take foundational science courses in first year, then specialize by selecting which science subjects to focus on. Co-op is available, letting you do paid work terms at science-related employers alongside your studies.
