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.	This program teaches you how to design, build, and test software and computer systems. You learn programming, algorithms, data structures, and how computers work at a fundamental level. The co-op option requires you to complete paid work terms at companies alongside your studies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate — something most computer science programs don't mandate.	You study how to protect computer networks and systems from cyberattacks and security threats. The program combines practical networking skills with specialized knowledge in security protocols, encryption, and threat detection. It suits students who want technical IT work focused specifically on defending data and infrastructure rather than general software development or systems administration.	You study the theory and practice of computer programming, software design, and how to build applications and systems. The co-op option lets you alternate between school terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. This program suits people who want to combine hands-on coding skills with an understanding of how software works in actual business and technology settings.
