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	This is a four-year science degree where you specialize in one of many fields — from chemistry and physics to biology, geology, audiology, linguistics, or environmental science. The honours designation means you go deeper into your chosen subject than a general science degree would. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain paid professional experience alongside your studies, which suits students who want both classroom learning and real workplace practice in their field.	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.	You study how the natural world works alongside the human systems that affect it. The BES focuses on environmental policy, conservation, and sustainability through social and geographic lenses, while the BSc emphasizes the physical science side: geology, ecology, and environmental processes. Both paths suit people interested in solving real environmental problems through either policy and community work or scientific research and analysis.	You study how human activity shapes the natural world and how landscapes, climate, and ecosystems affect people and cities. The program offers multiple routes depending on your interests: a general arts degree, a combined arts and sciences track, an engineering focus for environmental systems, or a specialized environmental studies degree. It suits students curious about climate change, resource management, urban planning, or environmental policy who want both scientific and human perspectives.
