Welcome to the Cooperative Education Program at Ramapo College! Every academic year, nearly 400 students work in a wide variety of internships in the College's nationally recognized Cooperative Education Program. The largest and most comprehensive of Ramapo's experiential learning opportunities, Cooperative Education is an academic program that places students in positions related to their educational and career goals. Cooperative Education integrates academic learning with faculty supervised work experiences in both public and private sectors. More than sixty faculty members participate annually as Cooperative Education advisors to students who receive academic credit from the College and income from the employer. Created in the 1980-81 academic year, Cooperative Education has placed over 8,000 students and received more than $750,000 in grant awards from Federal, State, and private sources as well as nationwide recognition through U.S. Department of Education "national demonstration model" status. Ramapo College is a member of the New Jersey Cooperative Education and Internship Association [ return to top ] |
