Co-Ops

Armstrong Career Services assists the Engineering Studies program in the operation of the Cooperative Education Program. Co-ops provide a student with an opportunity to work while attending school and gain valuable "real world" experience. A Co-op is a paid position in which a student alternates three full-time work semesters with full-time school semesters. Having a Co-op experience often places a student in a stronger competitive position when applying for employment after graduation.

To apply, a student must:

• Be an engineering major at Armstrong, in either the Alliance, GTREP, or RETP programs
• Have completed at least one semester at Armstrong
• Have a minimum 2.5 GPA (note: many employers require higher)
• Have completed at least an introductory course in their major
• Have met with an advisor to review coursework timeframes to ensure there is no conflict with work/school rotations
• Complete an application for Co-ops with the Director of Career Services
• Once approved, register for Co-ops 1000 each work rotation semester

If you are interested in learning more about Co-ops, please make an appointment to see Career Services or your engineering faculty advisor.
