The School of Education

Co-operative Education
Drexel University has long been known for its co-operative education program, through which students combine periods of fulltime, career-related employment with their studies. Internship employment is a requirement for all teacher education majors.

The degree is completed in four years, and it includes one six-month or three-month internship period of full-time employment. The goal of the co-op program in teacher education is to provide real-world experiences for future teachers to use in their classrooms.

Students pursue varied positions geared directly to their area(s) of certification. For example, a student working toward certification in chemistry might seek employment in a corporate laboratory, just as a chemistry major would do. Some students, especially elementary certification majors, intern in liberal arts areas or such educationally oriented museums as Philadelphia’s Please Touch Museum and the Franklin Institute Science Museum.
