Cooperative Education Program

Return to: Interdepartmental Programs

Students desiring on-the-job experience while helping finance their education should investigate cooperative education. The student may pursue an alternating plan of full-time work and full-time classes; a parallel plan of half-time work and part-time classes; a one semester internship; or a summer program. A maximum of 4 hours of elective credit in cooperative education is accepted for students transferring from a community college or other institution that grants credit for work assignments during the sophomore year. A maximum of 6 hours is accepted in transfer if at least 2 hours were earned after the sophomore year. Contact the Career Center for additional information.
