What is a CO-OP?

Starting fall 2007, all CBA students can apply for co-op opportunities.  Co-ops are available for Accounting, CIS, and Finance, and all other majors in CBA.

Co-ops are credit bearing, work experiences that provide you with a chance to apply what you have learned in class to a “real life” setting. Moreover, co-op students may receive full-time job offers at the end of their co-op cycles pending graduation.  Co-ops earn anywhere from 6 to 12 credits  depending on departmental policy, which enables you to maintain a full time student status and allows you to remain on target for your expected graduation date.

The approximate amount of working hours required for a co-op will be a minimum of 35 hours per week.  Additionally, co-ops may involve written assignments related to your work experience as required by your academic co-op supervisor. Please see your co-op supervisor for the exact requirements.
