What is a co-op/internship?
Students attending Mercyhurst College have the opportunity to participate in Cooperative Education/Internship experiences. Co-op is the combination of classroom and on-the-job work organized in an educationally sound manner and coordinated so that experiences in business, industry, government and various public agencies become an integral part of a student’s college education. Students who participate in the Co-op/Internship Program usually come away from their experiences more professionally and personally developed. Students can complete from three to four co-op experiences during their four years at Mercyhurst. By meeting all the departmental requirements for a co-op, students can earn up to 12 hours of academic credit toward graduation.
