That's the sort of ringing endorse­ ment echoed by those associated with Dalhousie's co-operative education ventures in science and in commerce. It's a system that seems to reward all. Students get pay cheques and practical workplace training before graduati on. Employers (often with government fi­ nancial assistance) have access to a pool of conscientious temporary workers. The university keeps in tune with the needs of employers, while sharing and transferring info rmation between the workplace and the classroom . Co-operative education programs, in which students alternate academic training with ca reer-related work terms, have proliferated in Canada si nce their beginnings at the University of Water­ loo in 1957. Tod ay, 85 colleges and universities offer such programs and 45,000 students are enrolled in co-op educa tion at the post-secondary level. Co-op arrived at Dalhousie in 1980, with optional programs in mathemat­ ics and physics. Later, com puting sci­ ence and statistics joined. Recognizing the value and potential of co-op, the university set up a co-ordinator and a placement offi cer in 1990 to orchestrate the programs for a growing number of science students. Last year, marine bi­ ology and earth science also began of­ fering optional co-op degrees. In a separate venture, Dalhousie's long-established bachelor of commerce degree went co-op last September, mak­ ing the university the first school in the Maritimes to introduce a mandatory co-operative program fo r students.
