Support

The College of Cooperative Education and Professional Studies is dedicated to providing a supportive environment for our students, where they can work closely with a co-op faculty advisor to navigate the world of cooperative education. Our program offers a range of professional courses, resources, and valuable connections to help students identify career goals, build resumes, develop interview skills, and succeed in their co-op experiences.

At UC, we understand the importance of providing a supportive environment for our students. That's why we offer a unique opportunity for students to work closely with a co-op faculty advisor. This advisor serves as a liaison between students and employers, helping to create a seamless connection between the two. They also maintain a comprehensive list of potential co-op opportunities, ensuring that students have access to a wide range of options.

As a co-op student at UC, you will have the opportunity to participate in a series of courses specifically designed to support your professional growth and success. These courses are carefully curated to help you identify your career goals, build a strong resume, develop essential interview skills, and gain a comprehensive understanding of the co-op program. Additionally, our courses cover important topics such as researching companies and job types, resume and portfolio development, job application strategies, effective interviewing techniques, networking strategies, and tips for succeeding in a co-op position.

To provide you with detailed information about our co-op programs, we have created comprehensive student handbooks. These handbooks serve as a valuable resource, offering in-depth information about each co-op program we offer. Currently, we have handbooks available for the following programs:

• DAAP Co-op Program Handbook
• Engineering and Applied Science Cooperative Education Student Handbook
• Information Technology Cooperative Education Student Handbook

These handbooks provide detailed insights into the structure and requirements of each program, helping you make informed decisions about your co-op experience.
