Cooperative Education Program

Cooperative Education is a university-wide work-based learning program. Partnerships with businesses and non-profit organizations are created to assist students in exploring how classroom learning applies to work-place practices. Since its inception, more than 700 businesses and non profit organizations have partnered with MSU to advance the education of 14,000 MSU alumni.

Both full and part-time, paid and stipend co-op and internship positions are available to students. These positions meet co-op work-learning criteria and are arranged for a minimum of one semester. Screening criteria for the positions are determined by the employer and students meeting these criteria are referred for interviews using a web-based interface giving our students and employers 24/7 access. Hiring decisions are made solely by the employer. Interested students must apply at least one semester prior to enrollment in an academic course especially designed to foster reflective thinking and learning from experience.
