Cooperative education (co-op) is the practice of alternating students' studies with paid, professional work related to their major.

Co-op was invented at The University of Cincinnati in 1906. Now, 100 years and 43 countries later, generations of students worldwide have followed our lead!

Today, UC's co-op program is listed among the nation's best in "US News & World Report" rankings. Read these student profiles to find out why.

This site has been designed to meet the needs of the important constituents of the co-op triad (the student, the employer and the university):

*For the Employer, this site provides important information on how to enhance their workforce development needs through a cooperative education partnership with UC.

*For the Students, this site provides vital information that could both lead to a decision to enroll at UC and enable them to be successful participants in the cooperative education program.
