Dear colleagues,
Co-op education at UBC Okanagan is evolving through a series of administrative and program-level developments across campus. The Centralized Co-op Education Program (CCEP), formerly known as the Interdisciplinary Co-op Program, is undergoing an administrative transition. This transition occurs alongside the introduction of a new Business Co-op Program within the Faculty of Management. We greatly appreciate the Faculty of Management’s role as the academic home of the Interdisciplinary Co-op Program at UBC Okanagan for the past ten years.
The Okanagan Senate has approved a change to the CCEP’s academic home, which will now reside within the Faculty of Science. Oversight of centralized co-op operations will be jointly supported by the Office of the Provost and Vice-President, Academic, and the Associate Vice-President, Students. Centralized co-op staff have relocated to UNC 207. More information about the co-op team is available on the co-op directory page.
The CCEP will continue to serve undergraduate students in Arts, Fine Arts, Health and Exercise Sciences, Media Studies, Science and Sustainability. Students currently enrolled in the CCEP have been advised of the new office location, and there will be no disruptions to program delivery or services. Students can expect the same high-quality experience and support throughout the transition. In addition, the Applied Science Co-op in the School of Engineering will continue to be offered as part of UBC Okanagan’s broader co-op landscape.
We are confident that these developments will support the continued delivery and growth of co-op opportunities for students across UBC Okanagan.
Sincerely,
Lael Parrott
Dean, Faculty of Science

Dale Mullings
Associate Vice-President, Students
