Real-world work experience
Gain real-world experience in public, private, and not-for-profit organizations with the UNB Saint John Bachelor of Arts co-op program. Our co-op students complete paid work terms that complement their course-based experiential learning.
Get a post-graduation job faster
Three paid work terms means you’ll graduate with 12 months of work experience on your resume. This can be a huge advantage in your job search and help you graduate with little or no student debt.
Only co-op students have access to online co-op job postings and one-on-one support throughout their program. And you can still complete your degree in four years.
How to apply
Make sure you meet the co-op program requirements:
- B- (2.7) average (or higher) after your first year of full-time study
- At least eight completed term courses
- No more than 20 completed term courses
Complete the application form and provide a minimum one-page, two paragraph outline of why you believe the co-op program is something you should participate in.
Submit your applications to the Dean’s Office in the Faculty of Arts by June 30.
Your application will be reviewed by a selection committee and successful participants will be contacted before the fall term commences.
By applying, you understand that you meet the criteria for the BA co-op option admission and that you are required to attend and complete a mandatory three-day professional development (PD) workshop in September.
