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 it is	You study how people communicate through media — TV, film, social media, journalism, advertising, and public relations. The program combines theory about how media shapes society with practical skills in creating and analyzing media content. It suits people interested in understanding media's role in the world and developing hands-on abilities in broadcasting, digital production, or communications work.	This program teaches you how to design, build, and manage computer systems and software that businesses use to solve real problems. Unlike a Computer Science degree, which focuses more on programming theory and algorithms, Information Technology emphasizes the practical application side — how to choose the right tools, set up networks, and support users. The co-op option lets you earn money and gain workplace experience while you study, which suits people who want to see their learning in action before graduation.
