Co-op Experience I - International Students

Catalog description

A co-op experience allows a student to apply the knowledge gained in their academic program to real world problems in industry. The student will develop diverse technical and professional skills that will further their professional development, as well as promote their success in subsequent academic courses. In this course, the student will work full-time in an approved job role directly related to their academic program. They will complete an evaluation at the end of the academic term, covering their accomplishments thus far in their co-op work term. This course is intended to be taken during the first and/or intermediate academic term of a co-op work term spanning two academic terms. Students are required to obtain CPT work authorization before beginning their co-op, and work authorization must persist for the duration of the co-op experience. Students enrolled in the co-op experience are recognized as full-time students by the university.
