Co-op is an opportunity for you to gain work-integrated experiential learning that will help you get a head start on your career. The Ancient Greek & Roman Studies Co-op assists graduating students in achieving a competitive edge while generating experience within a wide range of sectors.

Traditionally there are three co-op work terms of paid employment, each four months long, 35 hours/week, giving students the opportunity to manage well-defined special projects at an organization. With the Ancient Greek & Roman Studies co-op, students are encouraged to combine two work terms back-to-back creating an eight-month opportunity with one employer.
