What is the difference between an Internship and a Co-op?
Interns are students who are currently enrolled and attending school. College internships are paid positions that may be completed during the summer or academic school year. (Summer interns typically work full-time and may, if the internship is extended, work part-time during the school year.) Interns often are eligible to receive academic credit. Please check with your school to obtain specific information. Co-ops are full-time paid opportunities for students who are currently enrolled in school but have arranged to take time off from academic coursework in order to gain work experience. Co-ops typically are eligible to receive academic credit. Please check with your school to obtain specific information.
