Cooperative Education and Internships
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
adviser to determine if a current or potential position offers appropriate
level responsibilities
to qualify as a Co-op position. The Co-op faculty adviser, 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 15 semester hours
in Business Management or related courses with a grade average of “C” or
better to qualify for Co-op.
How many Co-op credit hours can I apply toward my A.A.S. degree?
Students can apply one semester hour towards
the A.A.S in Accounting degree.
