Prerequisitesas published	ENG4U 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.

What you study	Environmental StudiesGeomatics EngineeringHuman Geography Physical Geography	Civil Engineering Environmental Studies General or Integrated Engineering Geology
What it is	Geography is the study of Earth's physical systems — landforms, climate, water — and how humans interact with their environment and each other across space. You'll combine field research, data analysis using mapping technology, and social analysis to understand everything from urban development to environmental change. This program includes a co-op work term, giving you paid workplace experience alongside your studies.	You study how to design and build structures and systems that work with geological materials and conditions — things like dams, tunnels, foundations, and mines. Unlike pure geology, you learn practical engineering design and problem-solving alongside earth science. The co-op requirement means you alternate between school and paid work terms at engineering firms, which is how you gain hands-on experience before graduating. This program suits people who want to combine science with engineering and need real-world workplace experience built into their degree.
