Cooperative Education
Cooperative Education draws upon the cooperation of the employers, educators and students to form a superior, total education program. This program combines practical work experience with academic study in a formal program.Students enrolled in the Cooperative Education program are provided an opportunity to gain confidence, maturity, success-orientation, and an understanding of the professional, practical world of work.
For the participating companies and agencies, Cooperative Education offers the opportunity to influence the direction of higher education, become directly involved in the academic career of future employees, and observe students' work before they become permanent employees. Cooperative education activities are coordinated through the Job Placement Office and must be approved by the program manager or department chair.
