Credit for Cooperative Education/Internships
Cooperative Education and internships are professional work opportunities meant to enhance academic coursework. Co-op positions are paid and internship positions are not. Both programs receive academic credit. The Cooperative Education Department, located in the Education Technology Center, has opportunities for all majors in the Schools of Business Administration and Arts and Sciences. Students are encouraged to make an appointment with a member of the staff who will guide them through the entire application and placement process. Sophomore year is the ideal time to apply but students may apply as early as Freshman year. All students must make an appointment with the Director or her assistant.
Three types of Co-op programs are available to both full-time and part-time students:
- Parallel Program: the most popular of the three programs, students attend classes full-time and at the same time obtain vitally needed practical experience in their chosen field of study on a part-time basis
- Alternating: the student alternates full-time periods of work with full-time periods of study.
- Job Enrichment: for the student who is already working and is offered a chance to earn academic credit either working in another department, assigned a special project, or working under a different supervisor.
