Cooperative Education
[ NVCC Home Page | Catalog Search | Table of Contents | Instructional Programs | Previous Page | Next Page ]
Cooperative Education bridges the gap between theory and practice by
providing the opportunity for you to apply the concepts and skills learned in
the classroom to a job situation. The professional and technical experience
you gain through Cooperative Education establishes a record of performance in
your career field and eases your entry into a permanent career position.
Over 80% of the Cooperative Education graduates remain with their Co-op
employers upon graduation. If you Co-op with a federal government agency,
you can be retained non-competitively in a permanent position upon
graduation.
To be eligible to participate in Cooperative Education courses, you must:
- Be program placed in a degree or certificate program which offers co-op
experience.
- Have completed 15 semester hours of college work or the equivalent,
including transfer credit.
- Have completed a minimum of two courses in your major area of study.
- Have a 2.00 or better grade point average.
- Obtain divisional approval after a review of your academic/employment
record and a determination of your potential for success in a Co-op
position.
Before registering for Co-op, you must have written approval from a
faculty member in your curriculum and be hired by an approved Co-op employer.
Credit earned in Cooperative Education courses may be used to substitute
for up to 10 credits of course work in selected degree programs with the
approval of your faculty advisor, may be used for elective credit, or earned
as additive credit.
