X. Degree Programs
Bachelor of Commerce (B.Comm.)
Public Management (Co-op) (PMGT:C)
Department of Political Science, College of Social and Applied Human Sciences
A principal aim of the Co-op program in Public Management is to facilitate the transition of students from academic studies to professional career in government or the private sector by enhancing the integration of theory and practice.
Students who want to graduate with the Co-op designation must complete a minimum of four of the five work terms, including those in the fall and winter semesters and two of the three summer placements. In other words, should students so choose, one of the three summer work placements can be optional.
To be eligible to continue in the Co-op major, students must maintain a satisfactory average, complete all course requirements as scheduled, and obtain a minimum evaluation of "satisfactory" on all work term reports. Consult the Co-op advisor or Department for additional program information.
Liberal Education Requirement
As part of the graduation requirement all students within the B.Comm. Program are required to complete 1.50 credits from at least two different subject prefixes as listed under the B.Comm. Program Information section of the undergraduate calendar.
