On August 7th, The Ontario Produce Marketing Association released a survey to its members to gauge the interest level of a Co-op Program for the Bachelor of Science in Agriculture program at the University of Guelph. Here is the back story:<\/p>\n

The University of Guelph has been delivering co-operative education programs for over 30 years.\u00a0 In addition to the traditional eight semesters of time spent in the classroom to obtain a degree, co-op programs are designed to include another five work semesters or work terms, extending a four-year degree program to five years.\u00a0 This enables the student to gain valuable practical experience in the workforce at the same time as completing their eight semesters of studies.\u00a0 It also provides prospective employers with short and long term recruitment solutions and enables them to evaluate a student\u2019s suitability of a permanent position once graduated.<\/p>\n

However, there are no<\/u> Co-op Programs<\/strong> designed for the Bachelor of Science in Agriculture degree, in any of its majors.<\/p>\n
