Welcome, Students!


Both the co-op and internship programs provide students with valuable experience that enhances resumes and makes students more attractive candidates for jobs after graduation. In addition, the assignments help students off-set the costs of academic life—all positions are paid and some include benefits.

Undergraduate students who seek a co-op or internship are encouraged to register with our office and go through an orientation and advisement process. Only students who complete this process are eligible to be referred by our staff to employers for their co-op and internship needs.
