Co-op
If you would like to learn more about how co-op works in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities and PPE Program, please visit the CSSH co-op website.
For more information, please contact Richard Conley, Associate Co-op Coordinator.
In the College of Social Sciences and Humanities, cooperative education—or co-op for short—is a key component to the Experiential Liberal Arts, an educational model that integrates experiential learning with the rigorous study of society, culture, and politics.
Students majoring in PPE have a variety of interests and a corresponding variety of co-op opportunities available to them.
