Graduate Co-op

Graduate co-op enables graduate students to alternate class terms with a six-month period of hands-on experience, gaining access to employers in their chosen industries. 

Expand Your Graduate Experience

Cooperative education at Drexel is available for select master's degree programs. Whether co-op takes students throughout the United States or abroad, they are expanding their professional networks, enhancing their résumés, and bringing that experience back to the classroom and their peers.
