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	Computer Science at Brock is a four-year degree where you study programming, algorithms, software design, and computing theory. The co-op option means you alternate between semesters of study and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your coursework. It suits people who want technical depth and prefer learning through hands-on projects and industry internships.	You study the theory and practice of building software, designing systems, and solving problems with computers. Carleton's program lets you focus on specializations like artificial intelligence, games, or software engineering, and includes a co-op stream where you alternate between classroom and paid work terms. This suits students who want hands-on industry experience alongside their degree and are interested in both the technical and applied sides of computing.	You study how to extract useful patterns and insights from large datasets by combining computer science and mathematics. Unlike a standalone computer science or math degree, you learn to write code, build algorithms, and apply statistical and mathematical theory specifically to solve data problems. This program suits you if you want technical depth in multiple areas and are willing to do paid work terms alongside your classes over five years.	Data Science is the study of extracting useful insights and predictions from large amounts of data using mathematics, statistics, and computer programming. This program combines mathematics and statistics with practical business and economics applications, so you learn both the theory behind data analysis and how to apply it to real-world problems. It suits people who enjoy working with numbers and want to understand how organizations use data to make decisions, especially if you want hands-on workplace experience through co-op placements.
