Bachelor of Commerce (Co-op) Program

Introduction

As one of two universities in Canada with mandatory work terms integrated into the student experience, we are a proud leader in embedding experiential learning into our Bachelor of Commerce Co-op Program.  We continue this path with a robust team of professionals who support students in their pursuit of meaningful work. Our students are encouraged to broaden their experiential opportunities by engaging with our many student societies, participating in case competitions and pursuing international study or work terms which are supported by our Global Experience Hub.  

With faculty who offer relevant and challenging material in the classroom and a dedicated co-op and career services team who understands the needs of employers, locally, nationally, and globally, our students begin their careers with confidence and skill.  Accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and Co-operative Education and Work Integrated Learning Canada (CEWIL Canada) our students are also prepared with the necessary scholarship should they wish to continue their education.
