Cooperative Education is a semester-long job typically related to your major or career goals and provides experience in the workplace. The Cooperative Education Program includes jobs and internships officially recognized and supported by the Career Center. Students can opt to work in a position directly related to their major OR choose a work placement in another area of their interest to \u201ctest drive\u201d their career, academic, and personal goals BEFORE leaving Ramapo!<\/p>\n
Graduates with experience have an \u201dedge\u201d in this increasingly competitive, diverse workforce and are much more marketable to employers and graduate\/professional schools than students without experience and faculty recommendation.<\/p>\n
