The Finance Co-op program was introduced in 1999. Thanks to strong student demand and the large number of employers interested in hiring our students, it is the fastest growing co-op in the faculty. The program’s primary objective is to provide students with the opportunity to apply what they have learned in the classroom to real-world situations, to observe the practices of a specific industry and of an individual organization, and to work with financial experts. The Co-op program also allows our school to build relationships with local businesses.
