  2. The standard duration of this program option is five (5) years. For information, see the Social Sciences Co-op website. 
  3. Co-op program options in the Faculty of Social Sciences follow an alternating sequence of work terms and academic terms. Students are required to enroll in at least one full-time academic term consisting of at least 9 units between any two work terms. Each student’s sequence of work and academic terms must end with a final academic term. For information on permitted and recommended work term sequences compatible with scheduled course offerings in this program option, see the Social Sciences Co-op website. 
  4. Co-op work terms are components of the program involving full-time, paid work-integrated learning opportunities, typically secured through a job search process. Students on work term must enrol in a zero-unit course (i.e. SOCSCI 2WT0 , 3WT0 , 4WT0 ). 
  5. Students may take a maximum of 3 units during a work term, with the written permission of the work term supervisor.
