Cooperative Education

Cooperative Education (Co-op) is an experiential education program that allows students to alternate semesters of full-time study and full-time work. The first year and last year of the student's enrollment at Stevens are dedicated to full-time study. In between, students work full-time for a maximum of three semesters in a field related to their academic program of study and career interests. The Co-op Program helps students apply classroom learning to real world situations and problems.

Benefits to students
