What is the difference between a Professional Internship Course and Cooperative Education? (see  Internships/Co-ops)

Professional Internship Course (IDS 3949)

  • Acceptance and placement into an internship assignment is not guaranteed.
  • All students must be approved by the FAU Career Center before being registered for the Professional Internship course.
  • This 0-1 credit course offers students the opportunity to gain "real-world" exposure and supervised experience related to their major, specific field of study or career interests.
  • No min. GPA required.
  • Ability to work 60+ hours during the semester.

Cooperative Education Program

  • Open to undergraduate students in Computer Science, Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering majors.
  • Operates on a part-time basis, 20 hours per week, no more, no less.
  • Participating undergraduate students may participate in up to four part-time semesters, but a minimum of 3 semesters is required.
  • Students work a part-time schedule that is dependent on their class schedule (typically Monday through Friday 8 a.m. - noon or 1 p.m. - 5 p.m.).
  • Co-op students take two 3-credit classes during their work terms. Note that the class time must not interfere with the work schedule.  Students are expected to attend classes 4 days per week. There is no adjustment permitted to this policy.
