Hey guys so I applied to UT social sciences, program: environmental studies. Now I'm just wondering if there is any co-op program for this program. How does it actually work? I heard that in first year we'll be learning general stuffs, so co-op starts.... when exactly? It's just that i would really love to gain work experiences in my field of study. Applied to:
Carleton-Environmental Studies [Accepted]
U of T-Environmental Studies [Accepted]
UWaterloo-Environment & Business [Accepted]
York-Environmental Studies [Accepted]
UOttawa-Environmental Studies [Accepted]

im not sure which uoft campus you applied to, but I think utsc is the only one that has coop? i havent really looked into utm, so im not sure coop starts at the end of your second year, giving you enough time to transition into university take a look at this : http://webapps.utsc.utor...;view=article&id=94

Don't worry too much about co-op, in my opinion it's over-rated (I'm in UTSC co-op). A good internship is better than co-op plus you save co-op fees. A couple friends of mine landed great internships are non-coop schools. As long as you're determined and hard-working and have some social skills, you won't have a problem finding an internship.

Until the economy crashes and you go out looking for a job to find out many companies will ONLY hire co-op students because of some agreement they made with the university (I saw this happen a couple of years ago in engineering in Alberta)

Until the economy crashes and you go out looking for a job to find out many companies will ONLY hire co-op students because of some agreement they made with the university (I saw this happen a couple of years ago in engineering in Alberta) I got accepted to UTSG, which seems to have no co-op program. I suppose changing my application to UTSC is going to take a lot of time, and i don't know if that's a good idea. So, lets say I take the offer at UT anyway, without the co-op, if i find an internship, that should be the same with co-op right? Applied to:
Carleton-Environmental Studies [Accepted]
U of T-Environmental Studies [Accepted]
UWaterloo-Environment & Business [Accepted]

An internship is just as good. Don't let my anecdote scare you, it happened, but lots of people were still able to find summer jobs (co-op or non). It was just a lot easier if you were in co-op. I personally did not do co-op and was able to find summer jobs most summers

If you are on the St. George campus, you can do a Professional Experience Year (PEY) http://www.engineeringca...nto.ca/programs/pey.htm after third year. PEY is administered by Engineering because they send the most students, but Arts and Science students can and do participate. Start with your college registrar with an initial inquiry and then go from there.
