Welcome to the Cooperative Education Program at UMUC
The Cooperative Education Web site is currently being redesigned to better meet students' needs. Check back soon to see the updated site.
Below, you'll find the information you need to get started.
What is Cooperative Education (Co-op)? Essentially, it is an opportunity for UMUC students to apply classroom theory to “real world” professional projects, and gain advanced academic credit. This is accomplished by developing a three-way learning agreement between a student, employer and faculty.
