Prerequisitesas published	Six 4U/M credits, including English (ENG4U) Advanced Functions (MHF4U) Two of Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U), Biology (SBI4U), Chemistry (SCH4U) or Physics (SPH4U). We recommend you take all 4 of these courses. A combined minimum 70% average in prerequisite math and science courses.

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	Chemistry is the study of matter, reactions, and molecular structure. The BSc focuses purely on chemistry and science, while the BSc&Mgt combines chemistry with business and management courses, suited for students interested in industry roles. Both programs include mandatory co-op work terms, giving you paid experience at chemical companies or research labs alongside your degree.	You study how Earth's climate and environment work, using chemistry, physics, and geography to understand weather systems, ecosystems, and human impacts. This program combines natural science with social geography, so you examine both the physical causes of environmental change and how people and communities respond to it. It suits students curious about climate science who want hands-on experience through co-op placements alongside their coursework.	Geography is the study of Earth's physical systems — landforms, climate, water — and how humans interact with their environment and each other across space. You'll combine field research, data analysis using mapping technology, and social analysis to understand everything from urban development to environmental change. This program includes a co-op work term, giving you paid workplace experience alongside your studies.
