Cooperative Education

The Co-op Experience. The Department encourages it's students to participate in the University's Co-op program. The Cooperative Education program works with students and employers to help students find paid Co-op positions, that relate to their academic majors.

How does a Co-op position differ from an internship? While an internship may be paid or unpaid, a co-op position is always a paid position and students are required to enroll in an academic course for variable credit. Additionally, students must be a junior, senior or graduate student. Co-ops are high-level positions that allow students to directly apply what they have learned in their coursework.
