Co-operative Education

Co-op allows you to alternate study semesters with paid work terms locally, nationally, and internationally. Apply in your first year and get a head start on your career. The Langara Co-op Program has been running for over 35 years and instructors are available to assist you with your placement. While one co-op placement is mandatory for several programs, an optional co-op designation is also available.

Programs that have co-op include:

• Bachelor of Business Administration
• Bachelor of Recreation Management
• Business Diploma
• Associate of Science Degree in Bioinformatics
• Associate of Science Degree in Computer Science
• Diploma in Bioinformatics
• Diploma in Computer Science

In addition to Co-op placements, the Co-op and Career Development Centre also manages work experience opportunities for all Post Degree Diploma Programs.
