There are graduates of the programs who have literally never been on the main campus. The cooperative education program allows a student to work in an engineering technology position while attending school, usually in alternating semesters. This experience provides an additional attraction to prospective employers upon graduation in addition to satisfying a program elective requirement within the curriculum. Paid and unpaid internships under the auspices of the Career Advantage Program, are available to students. The University offers financial assistance to qualified undergraduate students.
Aid is classified as either gift or self-help assistance.
Scholarships and grants are in the gift category. Money available for financial aid is limited. Two factors affecting a student's chance of receiving aid are the amount of need and the timeliness with which all required forms are submitted. The general types of aid undergraduate students may qualify for are federal and state aid, work-study employment, University scholarship and outside agency awards.
