The Work and Study program provides students with the opportunity to obtain a General Certificate in Work and Study and a bachelor's degree simultaneously. It gives them the opportunity to gain workplace experience, allowing them to choose a work placement according to their individual aspirations and aptitudes. Working with a traditionally bilingual liberal arts institution, the General Certificate in Work and Study is unique, both in its objectives and in its structure. Work and study does not aim to introduce students to a specific discipline. Focusing on changes in the working world and providing students with the opportunity for unique professional experience, the program is designed to complement or even provide a new dimension to the student's undergraduate study program. The General Certificate in Work and Study requires 24 credits, 15 of which are offered within the program and nine of which are offered by other programs and departments of Glendon and recognized by the program. Students enrolled in the Work and Study program may only receive their certificate on the condition that they complete the requirements for their bachelor's degree. Admission Requirements To be eligible for admission to the work and study, students must be enrolled in a degree program at York University and must: (i) have completed 24 credits or the equivalent; (ii) have achieved Honours standing; (iii) apply for admission to the program. Students who have already obtained a BA from York University or from another university, with a 5.00 (C+) average, may also apply for admission to the program.
