Graduate Co-op
Expand Your Graduate Experience
Cooperative education at Drexel is available for select master's degree programs. Whether co-op takes students throughout the United States or abroad, they are expanding their professional networks, enhancing their résumés, and bringing that experience back to the classroom and their peers.
Graduate Co-op Schedule
Graduate students participating in the co-op program begin their coursework in the Fall semester, when they take the required co-op preparation course. Students are invited to meet with their assigned co-op advisor in the Spring semester, and subsequently commence with their job search. Graduate co-op students work their co-op in the Fall semester of their second year of the program. At the conclusion of co-op, students return to the classroom to conclude their academic requirements.
