Co-op / Work for Credit Architecture Programs (US & Canada)

WCdash1

Curious if anyone knows of architecture programs that offer Co-Op / Work for Credit programs during the school year (not the summer) in the US or Canada?

So far the list includes:
U Cincinnatti
University of Waterloo (CA)

Thanks.

The Boston Architectural College…not quite co-op, more like concurrent--you work during the day and take classes at night and sometimes on Saturdays.

Just got back from visiting UBC architecture program in Vancouver. Their program offers co-op. It provides a good tuition reduction for CAN and permanent residents because their tuition fees are so low. As a U.S. citizen, I was told that it didn't make sense to consider co-op as I would have to work too many hours to account for the international tuition fee difference. But the international student fees, in total, are still lower than most public-funded US arch schools. The UBC Graduate Program advisor should be able to answer all your questions.

Drexel University in Philadelphia, and the New School of Architecture in San Diego also offer co-op programs. The format of the Drexel program is similar to that of the Boston Architectural Center. I think the New School also follows the same format, but I don't know as much about that program.

I think Carleton offers co-op as an option.

Some of the best graduates that I have interviewed over the years came from Waterloo which is a 7 seven program with multiple co-op terms. Most I have spoaken with graduated with a good level skill experience and knowledge of the profession.

I believe Wentworth in Boston has a strong coop program.

There is also Fred Stitt at the San Francisco Institute of Architecture.
