Course Descriptions—Cooperative Education (COOP)

Cooperative Education (Co-op) extends education beyond the traditional classroom by integrating career-related work opportunities with the student’s field of study.

Cooperative Education courses carry the designator of the appropriate academic discipline and the number 486A or 486B. Co-op courses may not be applied toward any general education requirements or some majors and minors. Students are responsible for consulting their advisor about applying Co-op credit to their degree program.
