The Cooperative Education/Internship Program is the integration of academic study with pre-professional work experience.  It is a developmental process designed to combine progressive learning on the job in a supervised environment while incorporating both an academic and career development component.

FDU’s Cooperative Education/Internship Program allows qualified students (48+ credits with a minimum grade point ratio of 2.50) to gain valuable job-related experience before they graduate.  Students work in positions directly related to their major and gain exposure to career possibilities as well as a specific work environment.  This pre-professional experience helps students to gain a competitive edge in the job market while they are still undergraduates.  Students can earn academic credit toward their degree, if they meet the criteria of the program.  Cooperative Education/Internships can be either paid or unpaid.
