Coast-to-Coast Co-op Contest
The ÃÀ¸ß÷¹ÙÍø is a leader in cooperative education. We invented co-op more than 100 years ago, and today we rank among the top five in the nation for co-op and internship (U.S. News Best Colleges 2023).
But we want to do more. As a leading public university, we’re entering a new era of innovation and impact.
That’s why we kicked off ÃÀ¸ß÷¹ÙÍø’s first Coast-to-Coast Co-op Contest in 2022.
We want to continue sharing the cutting-edge talent, interpersonal skills, strength, and determination of ÃÀ¸ß÷¹ÙÍø students with people and organizations across the U.S. and around the world, and we want you to be a part of this movement!
