This program includes a mandatory co-op work term to provide you with valuable hands-on experience in your field of study. A mandatory co-op is typically a paid position that is completed between two academic semesters. It is similar in length to an academic semester and requires a minimum of 420 hours of work experience. You must be in good standing and meet all identified requirements prior to participating in the work experience. Successful completion of the co-op work term(s) is required for graduation.
The co-op search is student-driven and participation does not guarantee that a work position will be secured. However, you will receive guidance and support through in-class career workshops and one-on-one coaching to help prepare for the co-op term. Additional fees are required for programs with mandatory co-op, regardless of success in securing a work position. For more information, see fee details.
The work term can be completed in person, online or in a hybrid format, depending on the hiring organization.
This program is offered in Seneca's hybrid delivery format with some courses available in Seneca's flexible delivery format. Some coursework is online and some must be completed in person. Students will need to come on campus to complete in-person learning requirements.
In courses delivered in the flexible format, using interactive learning spaces, professors teach in person to students in a physical classroom or lab and stream to students online at the same time. Students have a choice of coming to campus for an in-person experience or learning online.
