Co-Op vs. Non- Co-op Programs

[Horntails]

I just had a quick question, is it good to apply for the same program, but for a Co-Op and Non Co-Op? Just incase you don't make into one of them.
My program choice for next year is eithier financial or account at sheridan college

Thanks

It's best to just apply for coop if you dont get put into coop they'll probably just put you into the non-coop if you get in.

I'd suggest applying to the AFM program at Waterloo if your serious about education + a career.

Im planning to go to uni after I finish this program, since I didn't apply to any uni, so co-op vs non co-cop

[Epiclemon]

are you applying for a joint program? I know sheridan has joint programs too...
IMO i'd rather just go straight to university and apply for co-op there. If your program in college is only 2 years and then you apply for a 4/5 year program in uni, then by all means go non-co-op in college and co-op in uni. But if its 2 years each then I have no idea...

anyone else?

you wont get rejected for any kind of business program in college. at george brown you have to maintain a certain gpa if you want to stay in the co op program. it might be the same at sheridan. just apply for co op.

If you apply for coop and you don't want it, you can simply opt out. It doesn't work the other way around though, which you will most likely need to reapply or meet certain requirements in order to get into coop. If you apply and you don't meet the "coop" requirements, the school should give you the non-coop option automatically as long as you meet the requirements to get into the program itself.

I'm not sure which program you're applying for, but having coop is always a better option. That way, you'll be able to reduce your school debts while going to school. Experience is also good to have :)

I've got a question. Does every program that offers coop have a non coop option?

well. just my opinion, Why would I pay over $4000, to sheridan to have them put me into co-op, and work for for a non-paid company for free

Yeah I didn't bother with coop.

[Horntails]

Yea, anyone else have an opinion on this

Why don't you just ask one of the academic advisers from the University?
Maybe if you apply to co-op and don't get in they'll just bump you to the regular program.

I thought they would pay you for co-op but since they don't. I'm going to say just look at the job market for your career and see if it's saturated at the location of where you want to work and check if the experience is worth the time + money.

Co-op is paid - at least at Waterloo. And they pay quite well.
