Co-op Program
During your internship or cooperative education (co-op) semesters, you'll work full-time at a leading organization such as Procter & Gamble, PricewaterhouseCoopers, or NASA. Because our co-op and internship partners will be paying you, they'll be assigning you real, meaningful projects, not just busywork. That real-world work experience will provide you with a huge competitive advantage when you enter the job market.
The UC co-op program was the first of its kind in the United States, and was recently ranked among the top four co-op experiences in the country by U.S. News & World Report. Lindner students who intern or co-op full-time earn an average salary of $9,728 per semester, and 75 percent of Lindner students who co-op have a full-time job offer at graduation.
