Marketing Management Co-op Overview

Marketing Management Department offers an optional co-op program which provides graduates with 16 months of work experience integrated into their academic program.

Students wishing to be considered for this program must apply for admission into the co-op option during the fifth semester of the program. Admission into the co-op program is based on the following four items:

Minimum CGPA of 3.00 (or higher). Subject to competition, grades above the minimum may be required.
Evidence of superior oral and written communications skills
Interview with the Faculty Advisor
Resume/CV

Students commence work terms upon completion of third year of the Business Management program and the co-op program extends the Marketing Management program to five years from four.

The Marketing Management Department cannot guarantee work term jobs, but the Office of Co-operative Education (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. The co-op program enables students to earn prevailing wages for the level of responsibility and contribution of the jobs they perform and thus finance at least part of their university education.

The sequencing of academic and work terms is shown below*. Please be advised that this schedule may be subject to revisions.

Work terms are graded on a pass/fail basis. Each work term is assessed by the Co-op Faculty Advisor on the basis of the student's comprehensive written report and the employer's evaluation of the student's performance on the job.

NOTE*: Students are expected to follow the sequence prescribed for their program. Deviation from the sequence requires the submission of a formal request to the Co-op Faculty Advisor and approval from the School. With permission from the School/Department, students may be allowed to graduate with the co-op endorsement with fewer than the prescribed work terms.
