Undergraduate Co-op Programs

When your organizations posts a co-op job opportunity for Social Sciences students, our system will promote that role to talented students in all three (3) of our undergraduate co-op program options. You can, of course, specify which program(s) meet the eligibility criteria and/or are preferred for your role. In addition, our team can ensure that the same role is also promoted to any additional relevant students across our partner faculties at McMaster.

The three (3) undergraduate student co-op programs in Social Sciences are:

Economics Co-op

Political Science Co-op

Work & Labour Studies Co-op

Graduate Work-Integrated Programs

In addition, several graduate-level programs at the Master’s or Doctoral level also have required work-integrated learning components which qualify as co-op. Program and work term details may vary from the undergraduate details listed above. These are the graduate-level co-op programs available:

Economics Work-Integrated Learning stream (MA)

Economic Policy Work-Integrated Learning stream (MA)

Economics Work-Integrated Learning stream (PhD)

Public Policy in a Digital Society Co-op (MPP)
