Cooperative Education

Catalog description

Topics are selected to respond to the particular needs of students and the special preparation needed for career opportunities as they exist at the time of the course offering.

Course requirements include a minimum of 140 hours of work in the student's field of study, maintenance of a log (usually daily) of hours worked and duties performed, and a work-related final project. Prerequisite: combined approval by the course instructor (or Department Chair) and Career and Transfer Services.
