Co-ops and Internships

"While Michigan Tech opened the doorway to the workforce, Nation Ranch Marketing allowed me to take my first step through it. My internship with Nation Ranch provided me with an education that cannot be obtained in a classroom, and I feel lucky to have been given such a beneficial opportunity."

—Rob Devaun,
Business Administration, Class of 2007

We encourage you to take advantage of our Cooperative Education Program, which offers you work in your field of study while you earn both academic credit and a salary. Typically co-ops are in government, business, or industry and last one or two semesters. When you graduate, you will have a resume that demonstrates an ability to apply knowledge-not just a list of courses taken.

Paid internships, usually in the summer, are also available, but the work is not necessarily in your academic discipline and doesn't involve academic credit.

Many employers select students with experience in co-ops and internships as full-time employees.
