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	You study how Earth's systems work — its atmosphere, weather, climate, oceans, geology, and space — using physics, chemistry, and math. This program lets you do paid work terms with employers alongside your courses, giving you real experience in research labs or environmental organizations. It suits people curious about how the planet functions and wanting to test their skills in the field before deciding on a career.	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.	You study physical sciences — chemistry, physics, geology, and environmental topics — with a focus on how they connect to human health and the living world. This stream emphasizes the intersection between earth and life sciences rather than pure physics or chemistry alone. The co-op option lets you do paid work terms at relevant employers alongside your degree. It suits students interested in environmental health, toxicology, or science careers that bridge the natural world and wellness.
