About

The University of Cincinnati pioneered cooperative education in 1906. Since then, we have expanded our approach to co-op, offering a wide variety of real-world experiences to students across the university. Our co-op and internship programs are among the Top 5 in the country, according to U.S. News & World Report's Best Colleges Rankings.

Our unique approach to cooperative education is enriched by our focus on service learning, experiential learning, and continuing education. To support this cornerstone program, UC created the College of Cooperative Education and Professional Studies in 2022. Our mission is to empower learners and professionals at any point in their development through diverse career and professional opportunities.

With university, industry, government, and community partners, we bridge the gap between academic accomplishments and career success through innovative programs and hands-on skills training. At UC, we are all learners and the world truly is our classroom.
