Co-operative Education

Co-op enables students to gain hands-on, paid experience at a job related to their field of study. Co-operative education students are among Acadia's best, and it is therefore an excellent opportunity for employers to evaluate them as potential full-time employees. When a student brings new ideas and concepts learned during their work terms back to the classroom, Acadia's learning environment is enhanced.
