What is Cooperative Education (Co-op)?
Cooperative education (Co-op) provides a guided learning experience
for students. It combines a triad of interacting pieces: the employer,
the Co-op faculty advisor and the student to generate a unique learning
environment.
How
does Co-op work?
Students who qualify meet with a Co-op faculty advisor to determine
if a current or potential position offers appropriate level responsibilities
to qualify as a Co-op position. The Co-op faculty advisor, the
student and the workplace supervisor then work together to
design a tailor-made
learning experience for the student.
How
does a person qualify for Co-op?
Student must have earned 18 quarter hours (15 semester hours)
in Business Management or related courses with a grade average
of “C” or
better to qualify for Co-op.
How

Students can apply one to six quarter hours towards the A.A.S
in Facility Management degree.
