The
Cooperative Education and Internship Program offers
graduate and undergraduate students an opportunity to
integrate classroom theory with practical, on-the-job
realities through work assignments with employers in
business, industry, government and the nonprofit sector
that alternate with formal coursework. Employers assign
students work which is relevant to each student's academic
degree program or career interests, provide on-the-job
supervision, evaluate the student's performance on a
regular basis and usually pay each student a fair wage.
The
program is optional (except for College of Technology
majors) and open to any student, within any academic
discipline on campus, who chooses to participate. Academic
credit may be awarded for the work experiences subject
to departmental approval. Financial aid is often available
for eligible students participating in this program.
