Cooperative education is the best method to start a rewarding career. Students can apply classroom theory while receiving a salary. Co-op opportunities can be formal employment programs with various companies throughout the area or general full- or part-time work in your field of study.

Students can work either full- or part-time while taking classes. Employers are often flexible and will work around classes.

Salaries for co-op jobs range from $12 per hour to more than $15 per hour. Learning on the job finances a college education. It also introduces students to the real work world and the differing corporate cultures, and helps clarify career goals.

All co-op and related positions are posted to the Online Career Center. Students interested in co-op positions should contact the Director of Career Services for more information.
