EDU 4991 - Cooperative Education Field Experience: Alternating Plan

Credits: 9 hrs

This course offers students an opportunity to prepare for their chosen careers by combining academic theory and actual work experience. The work experience is to be full-time paid work for approximately 15 weeks. The Cooperative Education staff, the employer, the student, and the student’s major department must agree on the employment terms and the learning experience to be gained. The academic grade (either Pass-Fail, or A, B, C, D, F) is the responsibility of the student’s major department, with due consideration given to the employer’s evaluation of the student. The student may enroll in this course in two non-consecutive semesters for a total of 12 credit hours. These hours or any part thereof can count toward the student’s degree, or may be additive, at the discretion of the student’s major department.
Pre-requisite(s): Approval of the student’s major department and the staff of Cooperative Education.
