Co-operative education is a type of academic program that alternates academic semesters with periods of full-time work experience. Selection to all ten of our co-op programs is based on academic achievement and an interview. Although entry to a co-op program doesn't begin until Level III, in your first year, it is a good idea to review the co-op program admission requirements in the Faculty of Science section of the Undergraduate Calendar to ensure you are on track with program admission requirements.
In Level II, you should plan to attend a co-op information session in January and all applications are due in March. Information about our co-op programs and the selection procedure may be obtained from our Science Careers and Co-operative Education office, located in BSB-127.
If you are considering applying to a co-op program, you should take SCIENCE 2C00 during your second year. This is a non-credit, tuition free course for Science students that provides an opportunity for you to develop the career skills necessary to create a career path in the Science field.
