Wondering how Co-op works?
During a co-op term you will work for a minimum of 13 weeks / 35 hours per week in a position related to your program. Co-op terms enable you to apply the theoretical concepts you learned in class to practical career-related situations...and get paid for it!

What other Co-op Students have to say?
"The Mount Co-op Program has prepared me for a career in public relations like no course ever could. Taking what I learned during class time and transferring it into the real world has allowed me to secure a job sooner as my employer knows I have the right skills to succeed."
~Ashley Coffin, BPR Class of 2010
"When I sat down in my first PR class at the Mount I felt like this degree had been made for me. The small classroom sizes, knowledgeable Professors, and up-to-date course materials is inspiring. At the Mount you are not just another number, you are an individual that thrives in an atmosphere where you can get involved in your classes and truly learn from the best in the business. I am able to take the skills I learn in the classroom and adapt them to real client projects. Being a transfer student, I knew what it was like to attend a large school. Now in my third year of PR I understand the quality of education I am receiving is going to push my career even further, to become the best practitioner I can be."
~ Cassidy Quinton, BPR Class of 2011
"I would not be at the Mount today without the co-operative education program. Courtney Barnhill, Mount Admissions Advisor, introduced me to Public Relations in 2007 during career day in high school. Before that I didn’t know it existed. The co-op program has opened so many doors for me as I step into my career. I can only hope I will encourage potential students just as she encouraged me."
