Experiential Education

Experience, knowledge and skills acquired prior to graduation improve students’ marketability when seeking employment. Career Services facilitates two types of experiential learning experiences: Cooperative Education and Internships. They are typically one semester long or for a specific length of time, internships and co-ops are supervised, hands-on experience and assist in the determination of a future career path.

Cooperative Education

A “Co-op” is a structured, supervised program that integrates practical, paid work experience with a student’s academic program. The two types of Co-op plans are Alternating and Parallel. The Alternating Plan allows students to alternate full-time semesters of work with full-time semesters of study. The Parallel Plan allows students to take classes while concurrently working part-time. This experience is documented on your transcript.

Internships

Internships are credited or non-credited learning experiences providing students an opportunity to implement and enhance their academic learning on or off-campus.
