ACADEMIC INFORMATION
GRADUATE COOPERATIVE PROGRAM
The Graduate Cooperative Program was moved into
the Division of Professional Practice in April 2004 and continues to be the
largest such program in the United States for science and engineering. Graduate
co-op is similar to the undergraduate program, but these students have already
earned undergraduate degrees. In addition, their work is typically more focused
in their academic discipline.
