Several courses are available in outlying<br />

communities through the community<br />

campus network or by distance delivery.<br />

Employment opportunities exist in<br />

many administrative areas, such as<br />

government, small business, not-forprofit<br />

organizations, the investment<br />

industry, real estate, banking and the<br />

retail and hospitality industries. Possible<br />

positions include those in accounting,<br />

human resources, financial management<br />

and general management.<br />

Diploma Program<br />

(Co-operative Education option)<br />

The Co-operative Education option<br />

is available to students who plan to<br />

complete the Business Administration<br />

diploma. In order to participate in the<br />

Co-operative Education option, Business<br />

Administration students must maintain<br />

an average grade of B- or higher,<br />

complete the Professional Development<br />

seminar assignments and complete a<br />

report based on their work term.<br />

The Professional Development seminars,<br />

the one-on-one advising sessions<br />

with the Co-operative Education coordinator<br />

and the work term lead to<br />

an understanding of career options<br />

and how to make transitions into new<br />

fields. Co-operative Education students<br />

compete with one another for Cooperative<br />

Education work placements<br />

and the number of job openings<br />

depends upon employer demand. A<br />

work term consists of a minimum of<br />

12 weeks of relevant, paid experience.<br />

Students are required to complete one<br />

work term to qualify for a Co-operative<br />

Education citation on their diploma, but<br />

students may complete as many as three<br />

work terms as they proceed towards their<br />

Diploma in Business Administration.<br />

Co-operative Education will provide<br />

students with the following benefits:<br />

• a variety of Professional<br />

Development seminars<br />

• valuable job search and work<br />

experience<br />

• contacts and references for future<br />

employment<br />

• a chance to investigate potential<br />

career options<br />

• income while working towards a<br />

Business Administration diploma<br />

• the application of theory to actual<br />

work situations<br />

• confidence regarding employment<br />

skills<br />

• a monitored on-the-job experience<br />

• clarity about the relevance and<br />

application of course material<br />

• a documented work term on the<br />

student’s <strong>College</strong> transcript<br />
