UNIV 190 - Cooperative Education Professional Development Course

Credits: (1)


Prerequisites: Minimum of 2.5 G.P.A. or by exception with approval by Academic Department Chairperson and Employer. Confirmation of an approved Cooperative Education Agreement Form.
The Cooperative Education (Co-op) Professional Development Course provides a framework to advance the co-op student’s theoretical and practical learning and career competencies development. Students will apply knowledge and skills learned in the classroom while working within a professional work setting. Through direct participation, reading, reflection, and evaluation, students relate their experience to their academic study, identify areas for growth, and gain a broader understanding of their chosen field. Additionally, the Co-op Professional Development Course will allow co-op students to build a multitude of professional networks. Students produce a culminating critical reflection on their internship experience demonstrating how they have achieved specific learning outcomes.  

Co-op experiences are different from typical internships in that co-ops generally refer to students working in a more extensive and/or multi-work term agreement with one employer who has an established partnership with a university academic department.

Note(s): May be taken multiple semesters for up to 6 hours of academic credit
