What Co-op options does the B.Sc. offer?
Within the B.Sc., there are 11 programs which offer a co-op education option. These include: Applied Mathematics & Statistics, Biochemistry, Biomedical Toxicology, Biophysics, Chemical Physics, Chemistry, Computing & Information Science, Environmental Toxicology, Food Science, Microbiology, and Physics. Students can apply to a co-op program directly from high school. If admitted into co-op this guarantees them a spot in the co-op program during the first year. Students must maintain a 70% average to continue in the co-op program beyond first year. There is also a $200/semester fee for co-op. Students in a co-op program take the same courses as students in non-co-op majors, but in the Winter semester most co-op students take an additional, noncredit course (COOP-1100: Introduction to Cooperative Education). This course is 1 hour/week and teaches job seeking skills (cover letter and resume writing, mock interviews). The first work term will normally be done during the fourth semester (Wi
