Cooperative Education
Cooperative Education
Cooperative education permits students with technical jobs to capture learning experiences at their place of employment for credit in their college curriculum. Qualified students work with their assigned faculty mentor to define the nature and technical scope of the learning involved. In most cases the faculty mentor will visit the place of employment and discuss the task with the student’s supervisor. At the conclusion of the effort, a report is required to summarize the work completed and the knowledge acquired.
Cooperative Education is available to College of Technology majors of sophomore rank or above with a 2.25 or better overall GPA. Students working full time can earn 2 credit hours a semester; 1 credit may be earned for half-time work. This course is repeatable to a maximum of 6 credits; however, some programs limit use of co-op credits to fulfill graduation requirements.
