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	Health Sciences is a broad program combining study of how health systems work, the use of technology and data in healthcare, and social policy that shapes health outcomes. It differs from biology or medicine by focusing on the bigger picture of health delivery and policy rather than pure life sciences or direct clinical training. It suits students interested in healthcare careers beyond clinical practice, like health administration, public health, or health technology roles.	Community health focuses on preventing disease and improving wellbeing in groups and populations rather than treating individuals one-on-one. You'll study how social factors, environment, and policy shape health outcomes, and learn to design programs that serve communities. It suits people interested in public health, health education, or working with diverse populations on prevention and equity.	Health Sciences is a broad program where you study how human health works, from biology and chemistry to technology and data systems used in medicine and healthcare. It's wider than a specialized nursing or medical lab program because you explore multiple health-related fields rather than training for one specific healthcare job. It suits students curious about science and health who want options to specialize later or move toward healthcare careers beyond direct patient care.	This program teaches you how social systems, policy, and technology shape health outcomes. You'll study both how societies organize healthcare and how digital tools collect and use health data to inform decisions. It suits people interested in the intersection of public health, policy work, and health information systems rather than clinical patient care.
