Co-operative education

The Co-operative Education option allows you to apply your knowledge, develop skills and gain confidence, while you earn money to help pay for tuition. Students who choose the co-op option are expected to complete three co-op work terms alternating with academic terms before graduation. Each work term is approximately 12–16 weeks in length.

Learn more about programs with co-op options, how to apply and more.
