The UPEI Co-op Program is an integrated approach to university education which enables students to alternate academic terms on campus with work terms in suitable employment. The success of such programs is founded on the principle that students are able to apply theoretical knowledge from course studies in the workplace and return to the classroom with practical workplace experience. Students who successfully complete all the requirements of the program will have the notation entered on their transcripts and on the graduation parchment.

被录取的学生至少完成三个带薪工作期限，通常为期14周, and three professional development courses. 完成工作学期所取得的学分算作一般选修课.

The Co-op option is available to full-time students in the Bachelor of Environmental Studies program Applications to the Co-op Education Program are normally made after completion of the first year of study. 完成工作学期所取得的学分算作一般选修课.
