Other Special Programs
It would not be possible to maintain a complete, up to the minute list of special internship and co-op programs. There are many outstanding opportunities available. In an advising appointment, your Career Services adviser can advise you how to locate a program suited to your particular interests, skills, and educational level.
Start looking and apply early. Some application deadlines are nine months before the program starts!

Interview on Campus

Employers receive résumés electronically prior to the interview. Students meet with employers at our on-campus interviewing facility during business hours.

Personal and Professional Networks
Students may find positions through their personal and professional network that matches the description of a co-op or internship. Students may register for co-op or internship for these qualifying positions.
For legal and ethical reasons, if the position in question is not defined by the employer as a co-op or internship position, the student should inform the employer of the intent to register for co-op or internship. Career Services confirms the student’s registration with the employer.
