Co-op

Since 2011, Criminology students have the opportunity to participate in the co-op program. Co-op students apply knowledge gained in the classroom in jobs related to their field of study, explore different career paths, and build competitive resumes, while also earning money for their education and living expenses. Research shows that students who complete co-op option have better labour market outcomes, especially in terms of annual job income, ability to get a permanent full time job, and overall job satisfaction¹ To find out what co-op can do for you, click here.
