Admission into the co-op program is based on the following four items:

  1. Recommended CGPA of 3.0 (or higher). Subject to competition, grades above the minimum may be required
  2. Evidence of superior oral and written communication skills
  3. Interview with the Faculty Advisor
  4. Resume/CV

Students begin work terms upon completion of second year of the Business Management program and the co-op option extends the Entrepreneurship Major to five years from four. The Entrepreneurship & Strategy Department cannot guarantee work term jobs, but the Business Career Hub (opens in new window)  and the Department will prospect for employers and make every effort to locate suitable positions, as well as be available to advise students on their search for program-related jobs.
