Science Co-op

A side view of the Bricker Academic Building  Co-op students in honours science complete two work terms which 
  normally take place in the summer following their second and third
  years. Students apply for Science Co-op in the winter term of their
  first year.

  Laurier’s Faculty of Science offers programs that are contemporary
  and competitive, designed to attract the highest quality students and
  to provide them with a stimulating education and thorough preparation
  for employment or further studies. Small class sizes in its science
  programs provide an opportunity for interaction between students and faculty
  and for hands-on learning in its labs.

The faculty is a centre for research in the natural, physical and social sciences.

“Our relationship with the Laurier Co-op Program has extended over a decade. Laurier Co-op students show great maturity and attention to detail in their work that keep us coming back for more!

“Spending two work terms in the Fitness and Health Promotion Department at Baycrest has reinforced my intention to specialize in occupational therapy for the geriatric population. I taught water exercises, developed fitness incentive programs and shared health information.”
