Kappa Theta Epsilon (KTE) is the only national honor society for cooperative
education students. KTE was founded at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute
in 1956 by two Cooperative Education coordinators and a group of their senior
students. They initiated the first class of the Alpha chapter the following year.
Since that time, Kappa Theta Epsilon has grown to 19 chapters nationally.
The Division of Professional Practice has established a local chapter
of the national co-op honor society to recognize those students that have
succeeded both in the classroom and in the workplace. Kappa Theta Epsilon
Society established the Phi Chapter here at the University of Cincinnati
in March 2004.

Each selected member must:

• Be in good standing with the Cooperative Education Program.
• Have completed at least 45 credit hours.
• Be an active member of a cooperative education program or be a member
  who has completed the cooperative education program.
• Have at least a 3.30 overall GPA.

Kappa Theta Epsilon Society members serve as ambassadors of the co-op program as leaders within their programs, colleges and the university.
The new tradition of KTE here at the University of Cincinnati through professional development programming, networking opportunities, leadership development and peer to peer connections provides a forum
for co-op students to promote experiential learning through co-op.
