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.
