Internships & co-ops

Students often ask us the difference between internships and co-ops:

Internships
  • Usually one summer or academic semester.
  • Occasionally two work terms.
  • Paid or unpaid, depending on industry or field.
  • Part-time or full-time, depending on employer's needs.
  • Over 60% of our graduates report having internships during college (48% paid; 14% unpaid).

Cooperative Education positions

  • Multiple work terms.
  • Work terms alternate with school semesters.
  • Work terms include fall & spring semesters.
  • Paid positions.
  • Full-time.
  • Engineering majors comprise 82-88% of the students enrolled in our co-op program; business majors comprise 7-13%; (varies by semester).
  • Co-op is open to all majors but internships are more common for most other students.
