Cooperative Education

Cooperative Education (Co-op)
One of the most important things a college graduate can take into a job interview is related work experience. Cooperative Education provides students with valuable training, combining academic instruction on campus with work experience in the community. The Cooperative Education program, known as Co-op, allows students to earn elective course credit while working in a job related to their major. An application process is required, as well as course tuition. Plans for Co-op should be made well in advance with the company and the Director of the EYE Program at Lander University.

Eligibility
Co op students must have completed at least 30 hours of coursework with a minimum GPA of 2.25. Transfer students who have completed 15 credit hours at Lander may also apply. Co op participation is open to students in all majors, depending on job availability.
