The Electrical Engineering Department at MSU-Bozeman has a cooperative education program where students may elect to spend three semesters during their undergraduate career working as cooperative engineers for a major company. The students are then often hired by this company after graduation. Application to the cooperative program should be made after the student's third semester. Three credits of cooperative experience can be applied towards graduation as professional electives if the student completes all three on-site semesters with the company. Intership Opportunities Internships are available for those students not wanting to commit to a formal three semester cooperative educational program.
Many major companies have internships available.
One credit of internship experience can be applied towards graduation as a professional elective. Graduate Program Graduate training is desirable for those wishing to do advanced design, development work, research, and university-level teaching. The EE Department offers graduate programs leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Ten credits of the 18 must be 300 or above.
