The UC Co-op Advantage
UC invented cooperative education in 1906 — and we’ve been perfecting it ever since.
- 5 semesters of paid, full-time engineering work experience
- Average co-op earnings of $61,000 while still in school

- Ranked the No. 4 best co-op program in the U.S.
Co-op made a huge impact on my future. I’ve worked with leading engineers and now know exactly what kind of career I want — and how to get there.
