Prerequisitesas published	ENG4U MHF4U and a second 4U Math (min. 75% average between the 2 maths) Strongly recommended subject: ICS4U 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	This program combines computer science and business study, so you learn both how to build software systems and how organizations work. Unlike a straight computer science degree, you'll take business courses alongside your programming and technical work. The co-op component means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies. It suits people who want technical skills but also care about the business side of how software gets made and sold.	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.	You study how to design and build computer systems, combining software and hardware engineering with applications like artificial intelligence. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, giving you practical experience in industry while you study. It suits students who want hands-on problem-solving in computing and are willing to balance classroom learning with paid work semesters.	This program teaches you to design and build complex systems — often combining software, hardware, human behaviour, and business — that solve real-world problems. Unlike a traditional engineering program focused on one discipline, it blends computer science, design thinking, and management so you learn how systems work across multiple fields. It suits students who want engineering skills but prefer understanding how all the pieces fit together and spending time working in industry during their degree.
