Located at the centre of Canada's beautiful Niagara Peninsula in Ontario, one hour from Toronto, Brock offers strong undergraduate, graduate and interdisciplinary degree programs that include co-op and other experiential learning opportunities to a student population of over 15,500.

Brock University graduates continue to enjoy one of the highest employment rates of all Ontario universities at 97.2 per cent. Brock celebrates the success of its 50,000 graduates who apply their degrees to careers throughout Canada and around the world while others pursue further education.

Our commitment to the individual student and to the highest standards of teaching and research excellence is reflected in the growing numbers applying to Brock. The percentage increase in student applications to Brock continues to rise and is one of the highest among Ontario universities. Brock continues to be one of the leaders in the province in the percentage increase for first choice applications. Brock students can expect the close, personal attention of a dedicated faculty and the opportunity to explore their academic interests through participation in seminars and labs.

Brock is expanding the number of programs offered at the undergraduate and graduate levels and is introducing new co-op programs across all faculties. Brock offers one of the largest selections of co-op programs in Canada.

To meet an increasing demand for a Brock education, the University has invested \$100 million to expand the campus over the last few years with the construction of academic buildings, the Walker Complex, which is Niagara's largest recreational facility, and student residences.

As well, the University operates a campus in Hamilton, Ontario, that is used primarily for teacher education.

Brock serves the Niagara region as a cultural, academic and recreational centre and offers the community excellent facilities for people of all ages.

Brock's annual economic impact on Niagara grew to \$260 million in 2003. That is expected to grow as the University's enrolment increases to keep pace with the demand for post-secondary education.

Located on the Niagara Escarpment, overlooking the City of St. Catharines, the Brock campus is a safe and friendly environment. The park-like setting of the University, with its wide-open spaces, offers a number of outdoor activities at any time of year.

Opened in 1964, Brock was named for Maj.-General Sir Isaac Brock, who lost his life at Queenston Heights in the War of 1812. His last words are said to be, "Surgite! Push on!" — which have become the University's motto.
