Cooperative Education (737-1618) www.aug.edu/career_center/
Cooperative Education is an academic program that provides an excellent means to develop marketable skills in the workplace to complement a student's educational experience in the classroom. Co-op positions are paid positions that are structured to enhance the curriculum and expand the knowledge of the student. Students receive documentation of the Co-op experience on the academic transcript as a non-credit course. There are three Co-op plans for student participation. Under the parallel plan, students work part-time and attend school concurrently. The alternating plan allows students to rotate between semesters of full-time work and school. The Co-op intern program is a paid, career related work experience for one semester only.

To apply for the Co-op program, a full-time student must have a declared major and a minimum overall 2.5 G.P.A., be of sophomore standing or higher, and be willing to work at least two academic semesters in a Co-op assignment (Co-op intern excluded from two semester commitment). Call the office for an appointment for more details.

One prominent service of the Center is career exploration and development. A library of information on a wide range of career-related subjects offers the opportunity to find out more about specific careers and occupations. Licensed
