Cooperative Education
Cooperative Education – Mississippi State University’s Cooperative Education program provides opportunities to receive practical on-the-job training along with your academic studies. This is an excellent opportunity to gain the skills you'll need to begin a successful career.
You must complete two semesters of study and earn a minimum 2.5 grade-point average to enter, and you must maintain that GPA to complete the program. Most students begin the program the summer following their freshman year and alternate semesters working with a cooperating organization and studying on campus. When you've completed the program, you will have a full year of first-hand experience in your desired career field.
