What is the Co-op Program?

The Co-op Program alternates or combines periods of college study with periods of experience in Science, Mathematics and Engineering fields. Students are provided the opportunity to gain career related work experience while earning college credits toward their degree.

This program provides students with part-time employment in science, mathematics and engineering related fields with local companies. Co-op work experiences empower students with knowledge and skills for the journey into tomorrow's work world.
