A Co-Op work experience ideally is done in your last semester. You earn college credits, depending on the number of hours committed to the job. Generally, Cooperative Education at CCAC is a program designed primarily for those occupational majors, which do not incorporate a mandatory work experience into their curriculum.
Most programs require that half of the credits be completed or have special approval.
30 or more college credits are recommended. 2.0 grade point average is required. You need to check with a CCAC Transfer Counselor or the 4-year college of your choice. Co-Op work experiences may be paid or unpaid. The employer determines pay rate, if any, and the work schedule.
