<p>In that case your options can probably open back up to most programs out there. Engineering departments tend to have a decent connection with industry, so I think they’re a fairly common thing offered. I don’t remember any of the schools I visited back when I was looking at colleges saying they didn’t have a co-op program (we asked, since I was interested at the time).</p>
<p>What you might see with somewhere like Northeastern or Drexel, where everyone co-ops is a lot more diversity in your choices of where you co-op. A question totally worth asking prospective departments is what employers their students go to, and if they tend to stay with those companies once they graduate. For example, one of my friends worked at GE a few times as part of the co-op program, and was able to rotate to a different position within the company each semester they spent. When they graduated, they took a job with them and were part of a management training rotation program.</p>
