Cooperative Education Programs

Cooperative Education provides students with a combination of academic study and professional work experience in a setting related to their major and/or career goals.

Cooperative Education gives students the opportunity to:

• Earn funds to help support their college education.
• Develop professional work habits.
• Test career choices.
• Achieve smooth transition into full-time employment.
• Apply classroom learning to a work setting.
• Gain work experience and professional contacts that will help in seeking employment after graduation.
• Observe a potential employer and workplace before accepting full-time employment.
• Obtain job offers at higher starting salaries upon graduation.
  

There are two different co-op plans:

• Alternating--Under this plan, students work full-time one semester, then return to campus full-time the next semester. Generally, students alternate on this plan for two semesters of work. When the summer term is included as part of the plan, graduation is delayed by only a couple of semesters. For students who plan to transfer to Georgia Tech, the alternating plan is the only plan that institution will accept as counting toward work experience credit. Certain boards require work experience and licensing programs before certification or licensure is granted.
• Parallel--This plan allows students to work part-time while attending classes. The parallel plan differs from a regular part-time job in that it is a guided work experience that is closely supervised by the co-op coordinator.
  

Co-op differs from internships in that most intern positions provide a one-time opportunity, usually unpaid, for students to use their academic training in a work setting. Co-ops are always paid and require a minimum of two work semesters, allowing them to assume increasing responsibility.

Students are considered full-time students while on work assignment, and they may reside in on-campus housing, participate in student activities, and use campus health services through payment of appropriate fees. Students do NOT pay tuition for co-op work semesters.

If a student changes major while enrolled in a cooperative program, the student may be ineligible to continue in that particular program but may be eligible for another co-op assignment, provided a suitable position is available in that student's new field of study.

Many co-op students keep their jobs after graduation, although the employer is not obligated to offer students full-time employment. Also, students are free to interview with other companies during their senior year.

For a sample of employers currently participating in Columbus State University's cooperative education program, see the Career Center’s web page http://career.colstate.edu/co-op.asp or contact the Career Center at 706-569-3198.
