Average Monthly Salaries for Professional Practice Students
Salaries paid to Professional Practice students are determined by employers and vary in a number of ways. Location, discipline, employer, job performance, and local cost of living all play a factor in determining a student's salary. With the goal of the Professional Practice Programs being to provide students with meaningful work experience, we feel strongly that our students should be paid accordingly. A more detailed explanation of student compensation recommendations and averages can be found here.

*Data was taken from an all co-op Student survey conducted in May of 2019. 184 students responded to compile the data above. Students in particular disciplines may have chosen not to respond, therefore, we do not have data to share. Secondly, some of the active co-op Students who were supplied the survey, had not yet completed a work rotation and therefore no data could be supplied. Individual salaries may vary. This is presented only as an informational resource and should not be used for negotiation or reporting. Salaries are not adjusted for regional cost of living differences.
