Welcome to Undergraduate Co-op
Welcome to Cooperative Education at Georgia Tech!
Whether you are a student seeking the best in relevant education or whether you are an employer seeking well-educated, student talent, the “Co-op” program can help you meet your long-term goals for work-integrated learning through a committed partnership.
For nearly 100 years, both students at Georgia Tech and employers from business, industry, and government have formed co-op partnerships to help develop the best-educated engineers, scientists, and managers. Co-op is the link between the classroom and the workplace. Knowledge is gained and transferred between students and employers in alternating semesters of school and work with students working through the junior year, typically with the same employer.
Multiple semesters are required because real learning takes time, commitment, and patience. Co-op at Georgia Tech is an optional, five-year program.
But is the extra year worth ....
- more knowledge in your major and career goals?
- better grades?
- higher starting salaries after graduation?
- and more jobs or career offers when you graduate?
Our alumni think so, and so do we!
Co-op works best when everyone involved communicates well and often, and we hope you will choose to “co-op.” Please work with us………after all, Cooperative Education means learning by working together.
Thanks for visiting our Website! Come visit our office, too.
