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 how to design, build, and maintain software applications that run on phones and tablets. This program is more focused on mobile devices than a standard computer science degree, and includes mandatory co-op work terms where you apply your skills in real companies. It suits people who want hands-on experience combining programming with practical problem-solving in the mobile tech industry.	You study how to design, build, and maintain software systems and applications, from the coding and logic to the architecture that makes programs run. This program includes hands-on projects in artificial intelligence and computer engineering alongside core software development. The co-op placement is required, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate.	You study how to design, build, and test software systems — the programs and applications that run on computers and devices. Unlike a pure Computer Science degree, this program focuses on practical engineering: how software is actually built for real-world use, with emphasis on planning, teamwork, and quality. The co-op option means you alternate between study and paid work terms at companies, giving you experience before graduation. This suits people who want hands-on technical skills, prefer learning by doing, and are ready to commit to work placements alongside coursework.
