Cooperative Education Program
Coordinator: Enzie Lagattuta
The Cooperative Education Program integrates classroom work with practical industrial experience. The optional program provides alternate or parallel periods of college education with periods of training in industry and government. The industrial training is related to the field of study in which the student is engaged and often is diversified to afford a wide range of experience. The objective of the program is to provide students the opportunity, through this interaction of study and work experience, to enhance their academic knowledge, to further their personal and work experience, and to learn about working with people.
The program is open to both undergraduate and graduate students. To qualify for the program, graduate students must have completed at least 30 quarter units and maintain a 3.0 or higher GPA at the University. Undergraduate students must have completed at least 90 quarter units and maintain a 2.5 or higher GPA. Interested students should contact the Assistant Director for Experiential Education in the Career Center early in their academic program.
Participating students pay tuition as stipulated by their program. Co-op credit may be used as free elective credit in meeting undergraduate degree requirements.
