Cooperative Education
How It Works
What
In most programs, co-op is
full-time, paid employment related to the student’s interests and/or
career goals. Students on co-op develop professional skills, meet
valuable contacts, and explore one or more career paths.
How
With the help of a co-op faculty
coordinator, students research positions, interview with employers, and
accept a co-op position.
Co-op faculty coordinators assist students as well as employers by referring qualified, interested students for full-time co-op positions. Employers are free to choose the students they want to interview and to hire the most suitable candidate for the position.
Who
All students in good academic
standing may participate in co-op programs in their major.
