We're most pleased that MTSU has a cooperative education program. Let's begin with our goals. We also strive for increased responsibility each semester. They are graduated with refined interpersonal skills and more effective oral and written communication abilities than their counterparts who do not co-op. Co-op creates the environment to maximize maturation within our students.
Maturation takes time.
Students work for one year in developing skills which lead to the growth listed in our qualitative goal. One year equates to three semesters, which may include a summer semester. The aim is 1800 hours of work. Employment Schedule MTSU offers three basic structures in which to gain one year of work experience. Each structure has advantages and disadvantages when contrasted with the other.
