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	Architectural Studies teaches you how to design buildings and spaces, from sketching initial ideas to understanding how they're built and function. This program includes paid work terms where you apply what you're learning at real architecture firms alongside your classroom studies. It suits students who combine creative design thinking with interest in how buildings work technically and who want practical experience before or alongside their formal studies.	You study how to repair, restore, and upgrade old buildings while making them environmentally sustainable. This program combines architecture, engineering, and environmental science — it's more specialized than a general architecture or engineering degree because it focuses specifically on conserving heritage structures and reducing their environmental impact. It suits people who care about preserving historic buildings and solving practical problems with green technology.	Environmental Engineering combines math, chemistry, physics, and biology to solve real-world problems like water treatment, air quality, and waste management. Unlike a pure science degree, you learn engineering design and practical problem-solving alongside the science fundamentals. The program includes mandatory co-op work terms, so you gain industry experience while studying. This suits students who want to apply science to environmental challenges and prefer hands-on learning alongside classroom work.	You study how to explain Earth and environmental science to the public through writing, video, podcasts, and other media. Unlike a straight science degree, you combine scientific knowledge with communication skills so you can translate complex topics for non-specialists. This program suits people who care about environmental issues and want to help others understand them, rather than pursue pure research or journalism alone.
