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.	ENG4U MCV4U 1 of SCH4U or SPH4U 3 additional 4 U/M courses

What you study	Environmental Studies Geology	Astronomy Biotechnology Chemistry Mathematics
What it is	Earth Sciences is a study of rocks, minerals, Earth's structure, and environmental systems — how the planet works and how humans interact with it. The program includes a co-op work placement component, meaning you alternate between classroom study and paid work terms at companies or organizations in geology and environmental fields. It suits students curious about natural systems and interested in learning through hands-on experience in the workplace.	This pathway lets you study the fundamental sciences — physics, chemistry, astronomy, mathematics, and biology — together rather than committing to a single discipline right away. You'll take core courses across all these fields in your first year, then gradually specialize based on your interests. The included co-op option means you'll do work terms in research labs or industry, giving you hands-on experience alongside your coursework.
