In selected programs, students may blend their academic study with career-related, paid, productive employment in business, industry, government, or social agencies. Co-op placements in various cities of the Northwest are arranged through the academic departments.
Placements are either full or part-time.
Duration of appointments is typically for one quarter but in many cases may be extended or repeated. Supervision and evaluation are the joint responsibility of a professor from the student's major field of study and the employment supervisor. Participants in the Cooperative Education Program may gain valuable work experience, and earn college credits. Students wanting further information about placement should contact with their academic department.
