Bachelor of Computer Science Co-op Program (also Honours)

About this programme

Co-operative Education, or Co-op, is designed to integrate undergraduate academic studies with paid work experience. It provides students with meaningful, paid work experience, networking capabilities, and helps build and develop students’ competences and skill sets. Algoma University’s Co-operative Education Program follows the Co-operative Education and Work-Integrated Learning Canada (CEWIL Canada) model of paid work terms, allowing students career exploration and experience in areas of career interest, while academic terms build a solid foundation of theoretical and conceptual knowledge in the area of study.

Accelerated, Co-op and Bachelor of Computer Science Honours, Co-op offers students a degree with academic co-op credit embedded into the program. Students will gain valuable work experience as they will be given the opportunity to take leadership on small-scale projects and to be mentored by industry experts. By combining semesters of classroom study with semesters of full-time employment in career-related positions, students will have the best of both worlds as they apply their formal learning to the workplace, and vice-versa. The employment prospect for students who complete a university degree with the co-op option will have the application and theoretical skills in order to be successful in the workforce and respond successfully to the challenges presented by contemporary high-demand computer science positions.
