Internships & co-ops
Students often ask us the difference between internships and co-ops:
Internships:
• Usually one summer or semester.
• Occasionally two work terms.
• Paid or unpaid, depends on industry / field.
• Part- or full-time, per employer's needs.
• 90% of our 2010-2011 grads reported having some type of career-related experience during college. This included 48% having paid internships; 22% having unpaid internships.
Cooperative Education positions:
• Multiple work terms.
• Work terms alternate with school semesters.
• Work terms include fall & spring semesters.
• Usually paid positions.
• Full-time [32 hr/wk min].
• Engineering majors comprise over 90% of the students enrolled in our co-op program; business majors comprise 5%.
• Co-op is open to all majors but internships are more common for most other students.
