This Co-op program caters to the increasing demand in the Information Technology industry for professionals who have a solid foundation in software development as well as practical technical skills in system security, telecommunications, network analysis and administration. Normally, this involves attending college after gaining a university degree, but the Brock and Sheridan program combines the two in a single integrated package.
The Computing and Network Communications Co-op program combines academic and work terms over a four and one-half year period. Admission to this program is on the basis of marks, a review of personal résumés and employer availability. An interview may be required. Students spend one and one-half years in an academic setting studying the fundamentals of computer programming, algorithms, and data-structures prior to their first work placement. Successful completion of courses in the core areas of Computer Science provides the necessary academic background for the work experience.
In addition to the current fees for courses in academic study terms, Co-op students are assessed an annual administration fee (see the Schedule of Fees). All fees are to be paid to the institution in which the student is currently enrolled.
Eligibility to continue in the co-op program is based on the student's major average and non-major average. Students with a minimum 70 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent non-major average will be permitted to continue in the Computing and Network Communications Co-op program. If a student subsequently raises his/her major average to 70 percent, the student may be readmitted only if approved by the Computing and Network Communications Co-op Admissions Committee.
Upon successful completion of the required courses at Brock University and Sheridan College, students with a minimum 70 percent major average, a minimum 60 percent non-major average and having successfully completed a minimum of twelve months Co-op work experience, will be awarded a BSc (honours) Computing and Network Communications degree and an Internet Communications Technology three year diploma.
