Cooperative Education

An important characteristic of all engineering programs at Wilkes University is the Cooperative Education experience, a valuable option usually scheduled during the junior year. The co-op option may be continued into the summer preceding the senior year. Participants derive three advantages from a co-op experience: a determination of how they wish to fill their elective courses during the senior year, an enhanced ability to conduct a job search, and a greater recognition that career opportunities may be stimulating and fulfilling as well as financially rewarding. The Cooperative Education opportunity provides a natural extension of the college experience.
