We're committed to co-op

Waterloo has the largest post-secondary co-operative education program in the world.

Co-op integrates academic learning and work experience. Because Waterloo is a research-intensive university with strong links to business and industry, what we teach is relevant.

We give our students formal academic credit for their co-op work terms, reflecting the importance of co-op in the Waterloo curriculum.
