Academic Internship/Cooperative Education courses are unique opportunities for “hands-on” job experience with directed academic learning. Students gain an appreciation of the relationship between theory and application, and learn firsthand about new developments in a particular field. An academic internship/cooperative education experience enables students to gain skills and competencies, apply academic learning to the workplace, and receive training from professionals in the industry.
The program features cooperation between the University and employers. The office of Alumni & Student Connections assists students with the internship/cooperative education search process and ensures that experiences are approved by the appropriate academic parties. Students may participate in an academic internship experience internationally when arranged and approved through the Wang Center for Global Education.
