Description:

Co-operative education is a degree option that allows students to combine their academic studies with career-related work placements, enabling them to integrate academic theory with practice in the field. The Faculty of Arts offers programs in cooperative education in all degrees, except for those with an internship or practicum component (Bachelor of Health Studies, the Bachelor of Human Justice, the BA (Police Studies), the BA (Journalism) and the Bachelor of Journalism).

Students spend alternate four-month periods taking university courses and working in fully-salaried jobs, often related to their discipline, with participating employers. Students in this program would complete a minimum of 3 four-month work terms in addition to their course work, so that it may take an additional 8-12 months to complete the degree requirements.
