What are some kinds of co-ops?
There are two kinds of co-ops. One is limited to the junior and senior years. A student is in school for a period of either three or six months and then participates in an on-the-job assignment for the same period of time. Although students are employed full time, they are considered students by both employers and the college. Employment may be available locally or in a student’s home area. The second option is open to students who have completed a minimum of 57 credit hours. A student in this plan remains in school and is employed on a part-time basis at a co-op/internship site. On rare occasions this experience is available to third-term sophomores.
