Since 1964, when its doors first opened, Brock University has been dedicated to its students at the individual level. This policy has continued to stay at the center of the university's mission even as enrollment has increased by the thousands. As recent as November of 1999, the university boasted nearly 11,000 students; now over 17,000 students attend classes on Brock University's Niagara Peninsula campus.

Located in St. Catherines, Ontario, Brock University is known for its solid and successful undergraduate, graduate, and interdisciplinary degree programs. Currently, this Canadian university has the highest employment rate for graduates in the nation with a rate of 97.2 percent. Students themselves gave the university an A- on the 2005 edition of the Globe and Mail's University Report Card. With 28 different graduate programs - ranging from computer science and business to education and Earth sciences - and over 100 undergraduate degree programs that cover even more, it's no wonder that the percentage increase in student applications was the second in Ontario for the 2003-4 academic year.

Adding to its high esteem is the fact that Brock University has recently been accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of business (AACSB), joining the likes of Harvard University, MIT, Yale, and the University of Texas in the top tiers of business schools.
