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.	ENG4U or FRA4U MHF4U MCV4U SPH4U SCH4U +2 more on the program page

What it is	You study the practical design and development of software systems, combining computer science fundamentals with engineering principles. Unlike a straight computer science degree, this co-op program alternates your school terms with paid work placements in real software companies, letting you apply what you learn and build professional experience. It suits students who want hands-on experience building software and prefer learning by doing alongside their coursework.	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 both civil engineering and computer science together over five years, combining infrastructure design and construction with software and computing systems. Unlike a regular civil engineering program, you integrate computing skills throughout and complete mandatory workplace terms, alternating study and paid work. This suits students interested in how technology shapes modern infrastructure projects and who want practical work experience built into their degree.
