The Cooperative Professional Practice Program (Co-op) offers a unique opportunity for students to integrate classroom learning with career-related work experience in both the public and private sector. Although most are paid positions, the primary value of a co-op or internship experience is the opportunity to clarify career goals, gain practical experience, and establish contacts with professional colleagues.

The co-op program offers two distinctly different patterns of study and work:

Alternate: The alternate pattern requires students to alternate semesters of full-time work with semesters of full-time study.
Parallel: The parallel pattern offers part-time work experience over an extended period of time while the student maintains a minimum academic load.

INTERNSHIP
Internships are of shorter duration than a co-op assignment and normally are completed near the end of a student's college tenure.

Since each program option has benefits to different students, programs are individually tailored to meet student and employer needs.
