  • 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 isYou study the theory and practice of building software, designing systems, and solving problems with computers. Carleton's program lets you focus on specializations like artificial intelligence, games, or software engineering, and includes a co-op stream where you alternate between classroom and paid work terms. This suits students who want hands-on industry experience alongside their degree and are interested in both the technical and applied sides of computing.This program teaches you how to design, build, and maintain software and computer systems, with courses in artificial intelligence and software engineering. You can choose to add a co-op stream, which alternates your study terms with paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits students who want hands-on coding skills and either prefer learning theory in a classroom setting or want to test their skills in industry while studying.You study both computer science and business administration as integrated degrees, not separate majors. This co-op stream requires you to alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms throughout your program, giving you applied experience in tech and business roles. It suits students who want technical depth and business acumen together, and who are willing to commit to a longer timeline that includes mandatory internships.You study business management and related fields like accounting, human resources, or entrepreneurship while alternating between classroom terms and paid work terms with employers. This co-op structure means you graduate with real workplace experience alongside your degree. The dual degree option lets you complete part of your studies at a partner institution abroad, typically NEOMA Business School in France, combining international education with Canadian credentials. This suits students who want hands-on business experience, practical skills, and potentially a global perspective before entering the workforce.
