Cooperative education requires a minimum commitment of at least two work terms - one semester and one summer. Students may co-op a maximum of five work terms. Internships are work experiences that are one summer in length.
Students sometimes return to the internship site for multiple summers.
Co-op students must register for academic credit. Interns may register for credit with approval from the program staff. Students receive one credit per work term. Each department has guidelines on how the credit is applied toward degree requirements. Students registered for credit must complete a co-op work report.
