What it isThis program teaches you how to design, build, and test software and computer systems. You learn programming, algorithms, data structures, and how computers work at a fundamental level. The co-op option requires you to complete paid work terms at companies alongside your studies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate — something most computer science programs don't mandate.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.This program teaches you how to start and run your own business, covering finance, marketing, operations, and strategy. Unlike a general commerce degree, entrepreneurship focuses specifically on launching ventures and solving business problems from scratch. A co-op option lets you work at companies between semesters, while a French immersion stream teaches courses in French. It suits people who want to understand business fundamentals but are drawn to creating something new rather than managing existing organizations.Commerce is a broad business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, management, and related topics. You choose a concentration like accounting or finance to specialize, rather than studying one narrow area. It suits people interested in business fundamentals and real-world work experience, since the program includes optional co-op placements that let you alternate between classes and paid jobs in your field.
