Work Experience during the DeGroote MBA (Co-op or Summer Internship)

Why DeGroote?

I was initially concerned as a student with a science background moving into business that it would prove to be an extremely taxing and difficult transition. However, I since learned that the Co-op program at DeGroote provides a very supportive and welcoming environment for students from different backgrounds. I also find that DeGroote’s implementation of Co-op into their program provides a very beneficial and essential aspect to developing my career
