BUSM 2800 — Business Co-op Experience 1-4 Credits
In this specialized cooperative course, students gain real life work experience and earn wages under the guidance of a faculty member and company supervisor. Currently employed students may qualify at their existing job; others may apply for employment from a list of local organizations offering cooperative work positions. College level co-op work experience requires developing new program-related skills, not simply performing tasks for which the student is already qualified. Under state guidelines, students may register for 1 credit for each unit of 180 hours of employment during the semester. Students may repeat this course until they accumulate 9 credits. NOTE: Students may apply a maximum of 9 credits in cooperative work experience, or in any combination of cooperative work experience, field experience, and/or practicum to an associate degree program.
