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	Economics is the study of how people, businesses, and governments make choices about money, resources, and trade. This program includes a co-op component, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at organizations, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits students who want to understand how economies work and prefer learning through a mix of theory and hands-on practice.	You study design across multiple disciplines, blending computer science, visual and product design, and hands-on problem-solving. Unlike a single-discipline design program, this approach lets you explore how technology, creativity, and practical application intersect in real projects. It suits people who want to design solutions but aren't sure whether they lean toward coding, visual work, or engineering, and who learn best by doing.	You study mechanical engineering and computer science together over five years, combining courses in machine design, systems, and programming. Unlike separate degrees in each field, you learn how they integrate — for instance, designing machines controlled by software. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom and paid work terms in engineering or tech companies. This suits people drawn to both the physical and computational sides of building things.	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.
