Cooperative Education is the integration of formal studies with practical work experience. Students have specific periods of paid employment (Work Terms) alternating with specific periods of study (Academic Semesters). Students entering a UCC Electronics program will have the option to participate in two four-month Co-op Work Terms. A minimum average standing of B- is required to remain in the Co-op program. For additional information, brochures and work term eligibility criteria, consult the Cooperative Education section of this calendar.
