Co-op

Cooperative Education is a partnership between higher education institutions and industries that formalizes the experiential education process as ongoing. Co-op alternates or combines periods of academic study and work experience in appropriate fields. Co-op provides students with compensation from the employer. Each participating student's performance is evaluated by both the institution and employer. Co-op provides each student with some form of transcripted academic credit.

Internship

Academic Internships involve work experiences that are episodic academic experiences to meet faculty specifications for experiential learning. An academic internship offers internships of a specified duration. Each participating student's performance is evaluated by both the institution and employer. Quality academic internships are those that allow students to learn more about their field of interest through observation and direct participation in a job setting and ideally leads to networking opportunities.
