C.S.COOP Cooperative Computer Science Education Program Students who participate in the Cooperative Computer Science Education Program, which is offered for all majors in computer science and computer information systems, combine their studies and work experience in industry or government. A typical plan alternates semesters of study with periods of employment in fields related to the major. This combination of experiences enhances the student's knowledge, personal development, and preparation for a professional career.
Participants register at the university each semester and summer session.
At the conclusion of the work period, the student must submit a report evaluating the work experience. A student who has completed at least three work periods and has submitted suitable reports may request that three semester hours of credit for cooperative education be counted toward his or her degree requirements, usually as an elective.
