WHAT IS CO-OP?

 


Co-op is a program which provides the opportunity for students to receive academic credit and a letter grade for paid work experience in their field of study. Students may work full or part-time in on-campus or off-campus positions.

Through co-op, students are employed in paid positions directly related to their educational and career goals. Co-op students gain technical expertise and enhance their marketability for a permanent job after graduation.

The opportunity to participate in cooperative education is dependent on the availability of appropriate jobs in business and industry.  Students must also meet eligibility requirements.
