CO-OP
Cooperative education is a full-time, paid, rotational, field-based experience. Students do not take academic courses while on rotation in the field. Between field rotations, students return to complete their academic studies as full-time students.
Benefits of a co-op:
- Gain real-world job experience
- Integrate theory learned in the classroom with practical applications
- Establish a relationship with an employer
- Increase your post-graduation competitiveness
- Earn a competitive salary while gaining experience
