Co-op Internships

Home / Thrive at ASU / Co-op Internships

Co-ops are closely supervised internships or practicums which brings work experience into a learner’s academic program. Learners benefit from these professional experiences, and get opportunities to apply their academic skills and knowledge in real-world settings.

60%
of ASU undergraduate degree recipients graduate with practicum, internship, co-op, or clinical placement.
Cooperative graduates profited from their cooperative experiences by acquiring more effective learning strategies, accruing greater knowledge, and adjusting to organizational life more effectively.
