Cooperative Education

Students at the University of Maine may participate in a program of Cooperative Education, Internships, Field Experience, or Service Learning for academic credit on a full-time basis during the semester or summer, or on a part-time basis while taking courses on campus. All programs are sponsored by a faculty coordinator in the student's major academic department and may be designed by the student and/or a participating employer.

Cooperative Education provides students with the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge to a practical career-related work experience. Available in most academic departments, these work/learning positions usually involve compensation. Students work directly with practitioners in their chosen career field and gain skills and experience which is highly valued by prospective employers.

Students should plan well in advance and seek assistance at the Career Center, 3rd floor, Memorial Union. For additional information, call 581-1359.
