Course Overview
Cooperative Education (Co-op) involves enhancing the educational experience by integrating traditional academic studies with relevant work experience. The student is employed for the duration of the Co-op Work Term placement period. The Co-op Work Term is a paid position where the student completes productive tasks that relate directly to the core competencies of the Bachelor of Science in Applied Computer Science Program. The Co-op position is approved by the Co-op Coordinator. Students in the program attend mandatory pre-employment workshops to enhance their employability prior to their Co-op placement and compete for job postings during the second academic term. During the work term, students are monitored by the Co-op Coordinator.
