Co-op Policy
A minimum of 5 blocks of cooperative education, integrated throughout
the academic course of study, is required. Co-op experiences are
approved through the co-op office or through the department (if
not listed by the co-op office). The co-op requirement is typically
fulfilled through a combination of single and double work blocks.
No more than 25 weeks of full-time co-op is completed at one time,
so that the co-op experience can be integrated with academic course
work.
A student may request to waive co-op block for various reasons
(e.g., BS/MS, BS/ME, study abroad, etc.), but a minimum of 48 weeks
must be completed in the remaining 4 blocks. To waive a co-op block,

shows the completion of 48 weeks of cooperative work experience.
Up to 10 weeks of credit by experience may also be awarded for previous
work experience.
Students should register for co-op on SIS and with the co-op office
