Students must successfully complete the application process, present qualifications in their Career Passport System, demonstrate academic achievement, and be recommended by faculty advisors. These cooperative placements provide a term-long experience within a student's career field. Co-op positions are paid and students also receive academic credit for their work. Formal cooperative learning agreements exist between the University and several major employers. Co-op placements are arranged on an individual basis to fit both student and employer needs.
Students participate in co-op assignments domestically and internationally.
Co-op students have worked in special assignments overseas in Belgium, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Sweden.
