Lindsey tells you about Co-op
The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
So the last thing that I just want to talk about is a program we have here on campus called Coop. About ninety six percent of students participate in Coop, and basically what it is is it's a post graduate entry level job that you get, uh for one semester. So this means that you're getting real world experience in your perspective field and you get a break from classes and you are also not paying tuition. Since about eighty percent of our cops are paid, a lot of students take this opportunity to save up money and pay off loans, stuff like that. So it's a really great opportunity for students and students. Um, a lot of scenes come back saying they feel completely refreshed and they're ready to take classes again. Some students come back saying they absolutely, for sure know that that's the field they want to go into. Some students even come back realizing that that's not the field they want to go into. While you still have the opportunity to switch your major instead of finding that out after graduation. So Coop starts as early as the second semester of your sophomore year and the semester before your first coop. You take a coop class with an advisor who walk you through the entire application process, and they help you like fine the different cops and apply and stuff like that. So you never really feel alone when you're applying. Um, and you can go and as many as three cost throughout your undergrad years. If you go on three, odds are you'll probably be here for five years of undergrad. But students who do that don't mind because you're graduating with so much experience and a lot of saved up money. The classes are so spread out throughout five years so that it's like, completely worth it. So I haven't gone on come up yet, but I'm in the coop class right now, so I'm looking at perhaps like throughout the entire world. Um, cops, like in so many different locations that everybody finds what they want to do, so I'm actually really excited for it.
