Co-operative Program in Business
The Redeemer University College Co-operative Program in Business
consists of two eight-month (32-week) work terms (Work Term
I: January to August; Work Term II: May to December) of paid
employment related to administration in either a business or nonprofit
organization. Placements are approved by the university and
supervised and evaluated by both the employer and the institution. The
Co-op Program is intended to provide relevant job experience which
will enhance learning from subsequent course work and improve future
job prospects. Co-op placements with Institute accredited training
offices are recognized by the Institute of Chartered Accountants
towards its prescribed practical experience requirement. Students
should not expect to find placements only in the Greater Hamilton region
and should be prepared to re-locate or commute for this opportunity.
Admission to the Co-operative
Program in Business
In the fall term of year two, a student may apply for admission to the
university’s Co-operative Program in Business. Students will only be
considered for the Co-op Program if they have been previously admitted
to a major (four-year or honours major recommended) in the Business
Department. Students should indicate their interest in the Co-op Program
when they apply to the university and again when applying to the
Business program during their first year. Completed application forms
must be accompanied with a $50 application fee by the posted deadline.
For more information on Co-op fees see page 23.
Criteria for Admission
An cumulative GPA and a departmental GPA of 7.00 is required
although the Co-op Committee may permit an exception. Acceptance
into the program is the decision of the Co-op Committee and is not
solely dependent on grades; attendance at workshops and an interview
contribute to the final decision.
Co-op Program in Business Requirements
Core:
Major:
Minor:
Work Terms:
Regular core requirements apply. Business 430 (Business Ethics)
fulfills the second philosophy core.
A major in business is required; a four-year major or honours major
is recommended. The following business courses must normally be
completed before a student is eligible to begin a work term: 121,
203, 204, 225, 241, 255, & at least three of 313, 315, 317, 345,
351, and 358 (see below for more information).
A minor is optional, as is the case for all students enrolled in a
Business major.
No guarantee can be given that relevant placements can be found
for all Co-op students. Employers will interview the available Co-op
students and make the final selection. No course credit will be
granted for the work term. Successful completion will, however, be
recorded on the student’s transcript.
