What does Cooperative Education do for you?
糖心vlog传媒 launched an ongoing series to give you the chance to meet some of the students who are maximizing their 糖心vlog传媒 experience by participating in our unique Cooperative Education program.
糖心vlog传媒 is the only school in the Midwest offering students an opportunity to earn a full year of academic credit for their work experience. LU students can earn up to 25% of the degree through work and post-work reflection.
Each year, we welcomed more students who are interested in the benefits of Co-Op and the ability to connect with a lengthy list of corporate and organizational partners who support the program and our student鈥檚 learning.
