History

Co-op work semesters allow students to complete a four-year Honours Degree while gaining the equivalent of one year of career-related work experience. By combining semesters of classroom study with semesters of full-time, paid employment in career-related positions, you will have the best of both worlds as you apply your formal learning to the workplace, and vice versa.

Bachelor of Arts (Honours) History with Co-operative Education

Year 1 Application Requirements

Admission to co-operative education after Term 1 of students' first year of study will be based on a minimum cumulative average of 65% and a minimum major average of 70%, along with a successful evaluation of the co-operative education application through Co-operative Education and Workplace Partnerships department.
