MSHEPHER Sandbox Course 1

Co-operative Education Program PROCOP (Application required)
The Co-operative Education Program combines a student’s
academic program with integrated paid work experiences through
work terms and regular academic sessions. The work terms are
designed to present the students with the opportunity to blend
theory and practice and to gain relevant work experience.
Each co-operative work term is a minimum of 420 hours (generally
between 12 and 16 weeks in length) and the student will
be registered in a 3-credit Co-operative Placement course (BMG
391, BMG 392 and BMG 393). All work terms must be completed
before the student`s final academic semester. While every effort
will be made to help find a suitable placement for students in the
program, no guarantee of placement can be made since the employment
process is competitive and subject to market conditions.
