July 1999 Cooperative Education Valdosta State University offers students the opportunity to integrate their classroom instruction with practical work experience as part of their academic program. The University works with local, state, and national agencies and employers to give students an opportunity to complement their academic and vocational interests and to gain valuable experience in their chosen fields prior to graduation while also earning an income for their educational expenses.
Students also develop professional work habits and can make valuable career contacts.
The Co-op Program is offered as an option for students. A minimum GPA of 2.0 is required. Interested students are encouraged to apply as early as possible in their university career to enhance the prospects of placement in the best possible position. The Co-op Office is located at 218 Georgia Avenue.
