General information
Internship Program
CSU's decentralized Internship Program is facilitated by the Career Center. Each academic department that offers course credit for internships has a faculty coordinator who determines student eligibility for participation, provides academic supervision for participating students, assists each student in registering for the appropriate number of credit hours and assigns each student a grade at the conclusion of the internship. The Career Center generates internship opportunities by contacting employers and responding to employer inquiries. These opportunities are posted in the Career Center for students to review and, in some cases, are forwarded to relevant CSU departments for posting.
Cooperative Education (Co-op) Program
The purpose of CSU's Cooperative Education Program is to provide students with a well-balanced combination of academic study and periods of professional work experience in a setting related to the student's major and-or career goals. Co-op is not only a way for a student to earn money to pay for college, but it provides practical, on-the-job experience in business, industry or governmental agencies.
Benefits of internships and co-op opportunities
- Develop professional work habits.
- Apply classroom learning to a work setting.
- Gain valuable work experience and professional contacts.
- Provide academic credit that often applies directly toward graduation requirements.
- Provide work relevant to the student's course work for course credit.
- Clarify a student's career goals.
