Hotel and Food Administration (Co-op) (HAFA:C)

School of Hospitality, Food and Tourism Management, College of Business and Economics

The principal aim of the Hotel and Food Administration Co-op program is to facilitate the transition of students from academic studies to a professional work life by enhancing the integration of theory and practice. Students may consult the departmental Co-op Advisor or the B.Comm. Program Counsellor for additional information. The focus on experiential learning means that theory is balanced with practice. Students are encouraged to participate in guided learning opportunities outside the conventional classroom, such as independent study courses, managing a student-run restaurant, participating in a semester exchange and engaging in networking events.

The co-op work term portion of the program consists of one twelve-month period. The work term begins at the end of the second year and extends from May to April. The co-op program is completed over a 5 year period.

Group work is a significant part of the core courses.
