COOPERATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM

 

 

What is Cooperative Education?

    The WNMU Cooperative Education Program, or what is commonly referred to as "Co-op," provides students with a unique opportunity to combine real work experience with their academic studies. Co-op students work as paid professionals in positions that are degree and career related.  Co-op allows students to "try out" a field and gain relevant work experience, as well as college credit. (Students can earn up to 6 elective credit hours).

Benefits of Co-op
