International Engineering Co-Op Program
School of Engineering and Computer Science
The cooperative education program is designed to give students a head start into today's challenging and rewarding field of engineering. This program enables the students to integrate classroom instruction with practical and valuable on-the-job experience. At the end of five years, the "co-op" students are usually ahead of the "regular" students in that they not only have a degree, but they also have accumulated one year of experience in their area of professional interest.
The Cooperative Education Program of the School of Engineering and Computer Science is one of the most significant reasons for students to select the program at University of the Pacific. All students are guaranteed 12 months of paid practical experience under the direct supervision of a "degreed" engineer.
