  Experiential Education

  Experiential education is an umbrella term for student work and academic integration. Participation in the experiential education program is a privilege extended to those students who meet certain criteria and who demonstrate their ability through their initial academic work. Experiential education opportunities may be classified by the employer as cooperative education, paid or unpaid internship, or student employment.

  • Student employment is defined as part time/seasonal jobs on or off campus. The position must be related to the student's major or career goal. Some students may be able to use financial aid work-study awards for off-campus employment in designated non-profit agencies.
  • Internships are defined as one-time work or service experiences related to the student’s major or career goal. During the internship, students work in professional settings under the supervision and monitoring of practicing professionals. Employers may offer paid or unpaid internships. (Note: The issue of pay is dictated by the Fair Labor Standards Act.)
  • Cooperative education (co-op) is defined as multiple periods of work related to the student’s major or career goal and typically alternate terms of full-time classroom study with terms of full-time, discipline-related employment. Virtually all co-op positions are paid and the vast majority involves some form of academic credit.

  The CEC provides opportunities for students to network with employers to secure experiential education opportunities via job postings on the online recruitment database, campus interviews, employer information sessions, sponsored career fairs, and announcements about other area career networking events.

  Students in all majors are strongly encouraged to participate in an experiential education program. Students in Architecture, Business Administration (5-year accelerated), and Engineering may be required to participate in experiential education.

  CEC Coordinated Experiential Education

  Students in programs that do not require co-op or do not have an internship component may complete two to three academic work terms through the Career Education Center. Students seeking academic credit through the CEC for co-op/internship work terms must register for the appropriate course during the semester they engage in the learning experience. The Career Education Center does not provide academic credit retroactively.

  Participants must be "full-time" matriculating students carrying a minimum of twelve (12) academic credit hours during the fall and winter semesters. Students must successfully complete Cooperative Education Preparation (CEC 3000) course; meet the minimum grade point average requirement and coursework appropriate for their major.

  Because experiential education integrates work with classroom training, students in non-required programs will not be allowed to enroll for credit through the CEC in the final semester of study.

  NOTE: Students in required experiential education programs in Architecture, Business Administration and Engineering should follow guidelines and policies of the School of Architecture or College of Business Administration or the College of Engineering & Science

  International Students & Experiential Education

  International students are subject to the same prerequisites as all other 鲍鱼tv students who wish to participate in cooperative education. International students should be aware that many employers may have citizenship requirements that exclude opportunities for international students. ISO will certify international students who have requested permission to complete an experiential education work term with the Career Education Center with the Department of Homeland Security.

  International students in required experiential education in Architecture, Business Administration and Engineering should follow guidelines and policies of the School of Architecture or College of Business Administration or the College of Engineering & Science
