  • Most programs recommend MDM4U
  • ENG4U or FRA4U
  • MHF4U or MCV4U
  • One of the following: SBI4U, SCH4U, ISC4U, SPH4U
  • Students who do not have the 4U Math prerequisite can take the replacement course at the University either the summer before or during their first year.
  • ENG4U
  • Two 4U math (min. 75% in each)
  • Alternative Offers
  • You will receive an offer of admission to only 1 program. 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
  • A combined minimum average of 70% is required for all prerequisite courses in mathematics.
  • Meeting these minimum requirements does not guarantee admission.
More than marks?supplementary applicationYes
  • A supplementary application is required.
  • Entry to the Computer Science admission category is gained directly from high school.
  • Transfer students who have completed any post-secondary studies (including studies at other divisions at the University of Toronto) are not eligible for admission to the Computer Science admission category at the University of Toronto Mississauga.

What it isA program in which you study how to design, build, and maintain software and computer systems. The BCS degree focuses more on the theory and mathematics behind computing, while the BA allows you to combine computer science with other subjects. Both paths prepare you for software development, systems design, or related technical roles, and include paid work terms through co-op so you gain real experience while studying.You study computer science and design together in a hands-on, project-based way rather than as separate subjects. The program emphasizes learning through real problems and experimentation, so you'll build working projects alongside traditional coursework. This suits people who want to understand how technology and design connect and prefer learning by doing.You study how to use data and statistical tools to solve problems in finance and banking. The program combines computer science, mathematics, and finance, so you learn to build models and analyze trends rather than just learning finance theory or coding separately. It includes paid work terms with employers, giving you real experience before you graduate. This suits people who want a technical, analytical career in financial institutions or companies that rely on data to make decisions.You study computer science and mathematics together as equally important subjects, rather than taking one as your main focus. This joint honours program lets you combine theoretical math with practical computing skills in ways a single-subject program cannot. It suits students who enjoy both fields and want to understand how mathematics powers computational problem-solving.
