Cooperative Education (Co-op) Program
The Co-op Program matches employers with highly motivated students who fill valuable needs within an organization and students benefit by gaining practical work experience and making professional contacts in their career field of interest. All Co-op positions should offer responsibilities very similar to what students might experience in their first jobs after graduation. Our office requires all students interested in the Co-op Program to have a minimum GPA of 2.5 (graduate students must have a 3.0), a declared major, and an established file with our office. For additional information refer to our Employer Co-op Handbook.

Company Information Sessions
The night before your on-campus interviews we recommend you host an information session. This allows you to meet with students and tell them more about your company and career opportunities in a business casual setting. Our office can help arrange the location, refreshments, and audio/visual equipment.
