These jobs are with private, academic and government employers in settings that apply the knowledge and skills each student acquires in our courses. Over 65 organizations in the US and overseas have employed our students in a wide variety of positions that are virtually the same types of jobs that grads would hold if they were to work for the employer after graduation. No tuition is charged for CO-OP, but the living expenses are the student's responsibility.
Some employers offer assistance with housing.
Some even pay for travel and relocation expenses and offer many of the other benefits associated with a permanent job. Some students are able to live at home while they CO-OP with a nearby employer and are thus able to usually save more money than are students who choose to live in apartments in the cities in which they work. Some will work two consecutive quarters, or alternate between quarters of CO-OP and quarters of classes.
