Institute for Co-operative Education

The Graduate Co-op Program is a structured internship program offered through the Institute for Co-operative Education. The program supports work-integrated learning through relevant work experiences that allow students to combine theory and practice, and to transfer knowledge and skills between work and classroom settings. It is an opportunity for students to broaden their perspective, strengthen their skills and better prepare for the job market.

When enrolled in a Graduate Co-op Program, the student must complete an internship successfully to receive a degree with a Co-op designation. Graduate students registered in the Faculty of Arts and Science, the Faculty of Fine Arts, the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science and the John Molson School of Business are eligible to apply to their department’s Co-op Program.
