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	A Bachelor of Science is a four-year degree where you study science subjects in depth. You choose a major like Computer Science, Environmental Studies, Mathematics, Physical Geography, or Psychology, and take courses across your field plus some complementary subjects. It suits students who want a broad science education and plan to work in research, industry, education, or graduate studies related to their major.	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.	You study the theory and practice of building software, designing systems, and solving problems with computers. Carleton's program lets you focus on specializations like artificial intelligence, games, or software engineering, and includes a co-op stream where you alternate between classroom and paid work terms. This suits students who want hands-on industry experience alongside their degree and are interested in both the technical and applied sides of computing.	You earn two degrees at once: one in science (you pick a major like biology, computer science, or data science) and one in commerce (business and economics). This combined program lets you graduate with credentials in both fields rather than choosing one or the other. It suits students who want scientific or technical expertise plus business knowledge for careers that need both, like environmental consulting, tech entrepreneurship, or data analysis in industry.
