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	Computer Science is the study of how to design, build, and understand software and computer systems. At Ontario Tech, you can choose between a straight science degree or combine it with management courses, which prepares you for roles where you lead tech projects or teams. The program includes a co-op component, giving you paid work terms at companies alongside your classes, which suits students who want real experience before graduating.	Computer Science at Brock is a four-year degree where you study programming, algorithms, software design, and computing theory. The co-op option means you alternate between semesters of study and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your coursework. It suits people who want technical depth and prefer learning through hands-on projects and industry internships.	You study how to design and build computer systems, combining software and hardware engineering with applications like artificial intelligence. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, giving you practical experience in industry while you study. It suits students who want hands-on problem-solving in computing and are willing to balance classroom learning with paid work semesters.	You study music composition, theory, and performance alongside computer science and programming, earning both a BA and BSc over five years. Unlike separate music and computer science degrees, this combines them so you apply computing tools to music creation and analysis. It suits students drawn to both fields equally who want deeper technical skills in each rather than choosing one.
