    Cooperative education (or co-operative education) and internships are methods of combining classroom-based education with practical work experience. A cooperative education experience ("co-op"), provides academic credit for structured job experience. Co-ops are full-time, paid or unpaid positions. Internships may be full-time or part-time, paid or unpaid positions.
    Even if students do NOT meet Georgian College's minimum English requirement (IELTS or TOEFL), they can still receive conditional acceptance in the program of their choice with the condition of completing the English for Academic Purposes program at the Barrie campus prior to starting their chosen program.
