Connecting Environmental Studies to work outside the classroom
UVic’s co-op program lets you try out career options and gain valuable work experience by alternating terms in school with terms in paid positions related to your program.
Almost half of the students at UVic take part in co-operative education terms and land a job offer before they graduate.
