Good Co-Op program selections

Cincinnati, Northeastern, and Drexel build their curricula assuming that students do co-op programs, but many other schools offer optional co-ops. Even when there is no formalized co-op program, many colleges have lenient withdrawal and readmission policies (assuming that one is in good standing at the time) allowing the student to roll his/her own co-op program (semester + summer off school working at a paid job).

For example, various universities in Oregon have this co-op arrangement: https://www.mecopinc.org/ . Oregon State has its own information at http://engineering.oregonstate.edu/paid-internships .

Ohio State’s co-op program is described at https://ecs.osu.edu/ecip .

Oklahoma State’s co-op program is described at https://studentservices.okstate.edu/cs/co-op .
