秀色短视频 Co-operative Education programs receive national accreditation

| News

秀色短视频 Co-operative Education programs in Business Administration and Computer Science recently received formal accreditation by the Canadian Association for Co-operative Education (CAFCE) in time for National Co-op Week. The rigorous, six-month process involved an in-depth review of 秀色短视频 Co-operative Education policies and procedures by an external review team. The team consists of practitioners from the University of British Columbia, Dalhousie University, the University of Waterloo, the University of New Brunswick, and North Island College.

'This national accreditation endorses the high quality of our co-operative education programs and highlights the tremendous learning opportunities our students acquire while integrating academic theory and real-world work experiences,' said 秀色短视频 President Alaa Abd-El-Aziz. 'This is an endorsement of 秀色短视频's commitment to high standards in academic programming and is great news for both our students and our partners in the employer community.'
Norah McRae, President of CAFCE and National Accreditation Council member, stated, 'Congratulations to 秀色短视频's Co-operative Education programs on receiving national accreditation for their Bachelor of Business Administration and Bachelor of Science (Computer Science). National accreditation by CAFCE signifies that programs are operating according to high standards. These accreditation standards ensure that students are well prepared and supported before, during, and after each co-operative education experience and that their learning through the combination of classroom and work experiences is maximized.'
Co-operative education is an academic program which allows students to integrate their classroom studies with real work experiences. Normally, students are accepted into the program in their second year of study. They are required to complete at least three four-month paid work terms, which alternate with the student's normal academic courses in their respective fields of study. 秀色短视频 students have successfully completed work terms with a number of PEI businesses and government departments, while others have also completed international work terms in New Zealand, China, United States, Thailand, Scotland, Ireland, and Britain.
秀色短视频 introduced the co-operative education option for students in the School of Business Administration in September 1996. Computer Science followed shortly after in May 2000, and the Physics department introduced its co-op option in 2003.
Several studies have found that students in post-secondary institutions who graduate with co-operative education are more successful in securing employment in their fields and do so more quickly than other students. Co-operative education graduates also have lower amounts of student debt and are paid at a higher level. Over 500 students have graduated from 秀色短视频's co-op programs, generating over eight million dollars in student work term salaries.
