Cooperative education programs allow students to continue studies with an off-campus job related to their majors.
Students can use their earnings to pay for their education and get work experience at the same time.
The Commission also publishes a list of institutions offering cooperative education for undergraduates. The annually-published list is available from the Commission online or by calling 617.373.3770. Each school determines which programs it will make available to WUE participants. Many states are now sponsoring prepaid tuition plans and college savings plans. Prepaid tuition allows parents to pay for their childs' education at today's rates, even though their children will not enroll in college for five to 15 years.
