A REPUTABLE PROGRAM

Exclusive to the Scarborough campus: the Management Co-op Program has provided employers with talented, hardworking students since 1975. Students complete a four year BBA program where they alternate between working and studying full-time.

"We have always been able to find great talent through the UTSC internship program. The flexibility of the program allows students to meet GE’s student employment needs. The Co-op team is just fantastic – always helpful, supportive, and professional. Your outstanding service has helped us to connect with talented students from your school!"

A reputation for excellence: prior to entering our competitive program, students must meet high academic standards and demonstrate a strong commitment to success in their chosen field.
