Cooperative Education Cooperative Education is an optional academic program in which students simultaneously learn to apply theoretical principles in a professional environment earning academic credit (based upon the number of hours worked and the value of the work experience gained) and income. Students seek co-op employment as they would full-time permanent employment. They prepare a current resume, review the online co-op job listings, interview and accept a work offer. Students continue to attend classes while participating in the Cooperative Education Program. Faculty advisors coordinate the cooperative education experience with the director of Cooperative Education. Cooperative Education placements afford students the opportunity to explore career options, develop invaluable contacts and enhance marketability upon graduation. Students already employed may “petition” an existing job for co-op status if new or expanded responsibilities will be assumed, thereby constituting a quality learning experience. F-1 status international students are eligible to participate in co-op.
