Co-operative education combines classroom studies with practical work experience outside the university environment, enhancing students' learning by applying, testing, and observing classroom concepts in meaningful work situations.

The University of Prince Edward Island offers co-operative education programs in the Faculty of Business and Faculty of Science.
