Take Advantage of the Only “Credit” Co-op Program in British Columbia

Don’t go to university just to get a degree! At Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, BC, students are given the opportunity to graduate with a resume of real-world, hands-on experiences that not only help open doors to careers or advanced study, but also awards credits towards their degree.

Gone are the days when university was strictly studying, writing exams and graduating. Students are now realizing the advantage of employment experience before graduating. Co-op Education is the best way for students to connect their academic study with work experience in various fields and to explore different career options in their field of study.

TRU students also have access to the most unique co-op program in BC, because TRU is the first and only university in BC to offer optional academic credits for Co-op. Students are not only getting paid and gaining invaluable work experience; they can also count their co-op experience as elective credit in their degree!

Students have the option to complete four, eight or twelve month work terms during their studies in many degree programs. Employers in Canada and around the world are recognizing the added value a graduate from a Co-op program can bring to an organization.
