Cooperative Education (Co-Op)

Construction management majors are encouraged to participate in the cooperative education (co-op) program. Through the co-op, students will receive a Bachelor of Science in construction management in five years while completing a minimum of three additional semesters of experience as a construction manager.

Students will benefit in several ways through the co-op program. Most importantly, it provides valuable experience for a future career. Employers have an opportunity to hire students as prospective employees, and students can gain experience and weigh their options before entering the workforce.

Co-op students typically receive a higher salary offer upon graduation compared to those not in the co-op program. Graduates are also frequently offered long-term employment opportunities.

The table below shows the calendar for a typical student in the co-op program. After two years of regular classes, the student begins their co-op period and works through the summer. Their junior year will be split between a semester of classes and a

semester of work. Afterward, semesters will rotate between classes and work, leading up to graduation.

Co-op students can choose from a wide range of employers within the Evansville area and throughout the tri-state region (Indiana, 肯塔基州, 和伊利诺斯州). For more information about the University's Cooperative Education Program, please visit the University of Evansville Center for Career Development.

实习

Students can benefit from semester-long, full-time professional work experiences through internships. Internship placements are set up through School of Engineering and Computer Science faculty or the Center for Career Development.
