Graduate Co-operative Experience

The Lyle School of Engineering's co-op program produces outstanding engineers for industry, by emphasizing the importance of both academic study and career-oriented preparation as the foundation for future success.

Graduate students can apply to be part of the co-op program to enrich their education, complement their thesis or dissertation and build connections with leading high-tech corporations. International students working under a Curricular Practical Training (CPT) or students in degree programs without company sponsorship are best suited for the graduate co-op program.
