Course Description

This cooperative education course is limited to students enrolled in Business and Computer Information Systems AAS degree programs. Students who work or desire to work either full time or part time at jobs related to their college major (AAS Accounting, AAS Computer Information Systems, AAS Entrepreneurial Studies) are eligible for this course. Students take a career-related classroom seminar for two hours each week while working a minimum of 180 hours during the semester at a job in the area of their degree program. Successful completion of the seminar and a minimum of 180 hours of work experience in any one semester entitle a student to receive four credit hours. This will be one of the last business courses that a student will take. The classroom seminar and work experience will provide a practical application of the student's academic experiences and tie the skills and competencies that the student has learned to a work experience. This course will assess the student's understanding and command of academic learning in the degree program and gauge how well the student is prepared for the work force in their specific field. Course offered Fall and Spring as a Hybrid.
