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

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.).
