UAH Cooperative Education: Partnering for Success Since 1979
The UAH Cooperative Education Program (Co-op) is an academic program that offers qualified students the opportunity to gain practical work experience while earning a degree. Students work in business, industry or government jobs directly related to their fields of study. This professional experience gives UAH Co-ops a head-start during school and at graduation.
Co-op students supplement their education with practical work experiences. Students gain paid, progressive responsibilities specifically related to the academic major. All degree-seeking students enrolled at UAH are eligible to apply to the Co-op Program. Follow the links on the left menu for details and application information.
