A principal aim of the Co-op program is to facilitate the transition of students from academic studies to a professional career in housing and real estate management by enhancing the integration of theory and practice.

The Co-op program consists of two eight month work terms. The Co-op program is normally completed over a 5 year period.

To be eligible to continue in the Co-op Major students must maintain a satisfactory average, must complete all course requirements as scheduled and must obtain a minimum evaluation of "satisfactory" on all required work term reports. Consult the Co-op advisor or Department for additional information.
