The minimum grade point average to qualify and stay in the program is 2.5. Recent grades earned at UAH are the most important. Actual earnings vary by major and class rank. The Co-op Program is open to all majors . We do not require students to take a class on their work term.
Engineering students can even apply their co-op work toward professional licensure requirements.
Those students who choose to look elsewhere are generally employed faster and receive more job offers than those who do not co-op, because they have experience. Any student enrolled in classes and seeking a degree at UAH is eligible to apply to the program. However, because of the nature of the Huntsville job market, opportunities for placement may be limited for those without U. S. citizenship due to employer requirements regarding government contracts and security clearances.
