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 you study	Computer Science	Computer Science
What it is	Computer Science I is an introductory computer science program where you learn programming, algorithms, and core computational concepts. It differs from some other programs because it includes a mandatory co-op component, giving you paid work experience in tech roles alongside your studies. This program suits students who want hands-on industry experience early and are curious about whether computer science matches their strengths before committing to upper-year specializations.	You study computer science — programming, software development, algorithms, and the theory behind how computers work — while completing part of your degree at an international partner university. This means you spend time studying abroad rather than staying at one campus for four years. It suits students who want technical computer training combined with international experience and are comfortable moving between institutions.
