About the university
Brock University is a public university founded in 1964 in St. Catharines, in Ontario's Niagara region. It has more than 19,000 students in seven faculties and offers more than 70 undergraduate and nearly 50 graduate degrees.
Brock is known for its Goodman School of Business (BBA, BAcc, MBA and accounting master's), its co-op programmes and its computer science degree with honours concentrations in artificial intelligence and software engineering.
