Internships & Co-ops
The Corporate Aviation Forum
What is a cooperative (co-op) or internship? A co-op/internship is a structured work experience in which a student has intentional learning goals and reflects actively on what she or he is learning throughout the experience. Co-ops/internships promote academic, career, and personal development.
The Co-op/internship program provides opportunities for students to:
- Gain experience in their field by reinforcing the concepts learned in the classroom
- Define career goals so that more realistic job choices can be made
- Create a network of professional contacts which increases job opportunities following graduation
- Gain a competitive edge by affording work experience that is relevant to our existing superior program of coursework and hands-on projects
- Accomplish the school-to-work transition by bridging the gap between student life and the working world
- Receive income to help with college expenses
- Add their eye-catching and valuable Internship/Co-op experience to resumes
- Possibly gain course credit
Students are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunities to pursue cooperative learning experiences and industry internships. See a College of Arts & Sciences Faculty Advisor for more information:
