A co-op position involves close to two years of work experience during your academic career. You are required to rotate between a forty hour week semester and a full-time student semester in order to complete a co-op. Most co-op opportunities are for undergraduate students. International graduate students and alumni interested in gaining relevant work experience should consider an internship for a short term, project-oriented assignment.
