ODETTE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Bachelor of Commerce (Honours Business Administration)
The Business Administration Co-op Program will help students acquire valuable professional experience in the workplace while they are pursuing their academic careers.
Students are admitted into the Bachelor of Commerce Co-op Program either directly out of their Grade 12 (or equivalent) Year, or in the Fall term of their second year of study in the Odette School of Business Administration. The Co-operative option is not available for the Honours Business and Economics or the Commerce for University Graduates program. Admission to the Program is competitive. Students applying from secondary school will be admitted based on academic achievement (typically, a minimum of 75% is required). Second-year students will complete a co-op application form and may be invited to an interview.
Students admitted to the Program must maintain a major average of 8.0 or better and a cumulative average of 6.0 or better, and must successfully complete three paid work terms to remain in the Co-op Program. To remain in the Co-op program only one outstanding "F" grade is permitted.
The process for obtaining employment is competitive. The University does not guarantee employment. The interview process is as follows:
1) Job descriptions will be posted and all qualified co-op students will be invited to apply.
2) Employers will be sent the resumes of all students who have applied.
3) Interviews will take place and a match will be created.
4) Both employers and students will have input into the matching process.
The work/study sequence is as follows:
