Cooperative Education: Work in Your Field of Study (737-1618)
Cooperative Education is an academic program which provides opportunities for students to gain paid work
experience that is related to their academic majors. The structured program is designed to make a student's
educational program more meaningful by integrating classroom theory with supervised practical work
experience in business, industry, government, educational, and service organizations.
Students are eligible for the Cooperative Education program if they are U.S. citizens, have at a 2.5
cumulative GPA and 30 credit hours or more, and are taking 12 or more hours per term. Most positions are
in the CSRA and allow the student to work part-time as a Co-op while attending school full-time. Positions
that alternate between semesters of full-time work and school are also available. Contact the Career Center
for program details.
Counselling and Testing (737-1472)
The Counseling and Testing Center strives to promote services for personal growth and development. The
Center can help you choose an appropriate university major, develop effective study and test-taking skills,
and solve personal, academic, or vocational problems. Other Counseling and Testing Center services include
peer support for the mature returning student and individual and group counseling.
One prominent service of the Center is career exploration and development. A complete library of information
on a wide range of career-related subjects offers the opportunity to find out more about specific careers and
occupations. A qualified counselor is available to assist in interpreting test information and to help you find
the best way to achieve career objectives.
