The University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) is a fully accredited, public university that enrolls approximately 15,000 students annually. We offer more than 100 programs, including two master’s degrees, 19 bachelor’s degrees, majors, minors, and extended minors in more than 30 subject areas, and more than a dozen trades and technology programs.

UFV’s Co-operative Education (Co-op) is based on the principle that combining an academic program with program-related work experience is an effective and efficient form of professional preparation. Co-op students are required to alternate full-time academic study with full-time program-related work, with academic study and work experience complementing each other.

Co-op placements can be located in the Fraser Valley, the Lower Mainland, anywhere in Canada, or abroad.
