What is Drexel Co-op?

By now, you've heard about Drexel's nationally renowned experiential education program. We call it Drexel Co-op: The Ultimate Internship. But what is it exactly, and, more importantly, how does it work?

Drexel Co-op Defined

Drexel Co-op: ?The Ultimate Internship? is a great way to learn about your career choice by getting out into the workplace and trying out different professional options so you can discover the one that's right for you.

How It Works

Beginning in your second year, you will alternate periods of classroom study with periods of full-time professional employment. Your Drexel Co-op experiences (you may engage in up to three) last three or six months, depending on your major. By the time you graduate, you may have up to 18 months of professional experience to add to your resume.

Landing the Right Drexel Co-op for You

As a freshman, you will enroll in a class called University Seminar, The Drexel Experience. In that class, you will explore career options, as well as discover the ins and outs of resume writing, the job search, using the Internet, the job interview, and current workplace issues.
