Co-operative education | School of Human Kinetics and Recreation

To complement academic study, co-operative education provides the opportunity to gain professional, applied work experience. Work placements are available in Canada, the United States, Australia, Europe, the Caribbean, South America and virtually anywhere in the world. As a co-operative education graduate, you enter the workforce with an undergraduate degree and valuable career experience.

“I strongly recommend the co-operative education program. It is a fantastic learning experience; I have grown both personally and professionally.” - Hilary Gosse

Our co-op students earned more than $600,000 through work terms this past year. Not only that, for the past five years, about 80 per cent of our co-op students achieved honours degrees. Now that's something to brag about!
