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 program 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 program relative to the number of placements that we can expect to secure.
Admission is therefore competitive and selective.
Promotion from each term requires a passing grade in all required courses and an overall average of at least 60 per cent in all courses. Every student must complete the six academic terms in the ECEO program, in addition to the 30 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.
