With an overwhelming number of opportunities available to you, how do you choose which ones are right for you? In this info session, we will cover the ins and outs of minors, co-ops honours, and GoGlobal opportunities. You will have a chance to engage with faculty members and APBI students who have taken advantage of these opportunities and have experiences to share.
March 25, 2021 – 4 to 5pm
Here are some links and resources that were discussed at the workshop:
Notes on Co-op:
- Co-op adds one (1) year to the length of your degree
- Application Deadline this year for next year: Thursday, October 7, 2021
- A Co-op work term does not replace, or add academic course credits for that term
- Once you are approved for co-op, you apply for jobs online through SCOPE (online job portal) OR you can find your own relevant job and get it approved by your Coordinator
- UBC Co-op fees
Notes on Minors:
- Completion of the Minor will usually require an additional period of study beyond four years.
- Minimum of 18 upper-level credits related to your minor (6 of these credits may overlap with credits for your major)
- Students should design a coherent and academically sound course of studies for their Minor, which must be submitted at the time of application
- Commerce and kinesiology are competitive minors
Notes on Honours:
- Must complete a minimum of 132 credits rather than the 123 credits required to graduate with a Sustainable Agriculture and Environment degree.
- There are grade requirements to remain in the honours stream
