Experiential Learning
Cooperative Education and Internships
What’s different about an RIT education? It’s the career experience you gain by completing cooperative education and internships with top companies in every single industry. You’ll earn more than a degree. You’ll gain real-world career experience that sets you apart. It’s exposure–early and often–to a variety of professional work environments, career paths, and industries.
Students in the BS in individualized studies degree are strongly encouraged to participate in cooperative education and internships. These hands-on, career-focused experiences can help you make connections between your course work and industry, and help you gain valuable experience that prepares you for success after you graduate.
