This can help students to secure initial employment in their chosen field of work. Furthermore, paid employment helps students to defray their cost of education. We have modeled our ECEO on the best co-op programmes in the country. The course work and each of the three work terms have been carefully matched so as to maximize the advantage to both students and the employer, preparing students to undertake progressively more qualified tasks in the workplace. It is anticipated that there will be a substantial demand for this programme relative to the number of placements that we can expect to secure.
Admission is therefore competitive and selective.
Every student must complete the six academic terms in the ECEO programme, in addition to the thirty credit hours required for admission, and must complete three work terms. Note that it is possible to enter Term 1 only in the Fall semester commencing in September of each academic year. The deadline for applications for admission to Term 1 this academic year is April 30.
