Cooperative Education Program

Cooperative Education: experienced-based learning for college students through paid employment in practical, curriculum-related work assignments. Employment plans include alternating (full-time, often multiple experiences) or parallel (part-time experience concurrent with full-time school).

At NMSU, a Co-op is a formally recognized educational program designated on a student's academic transcript. By university policy only the career services office may administer any co-op or federal SCEP work assignment.
