Co-ops & Internships
Bay College recognizes that there are important aspects of business and industry that cannot be replicated in a lab or classroom environment. Therefore, to augment the learning experiences of classroom instruction, Bay College has a Co-operative Education (Co-op) and Internship program. Co-operative Education and internships are an excellent way for students to gain “real life” experience in an actual business or industrial work setting.
Co-op:
- At Bay College are typically for 3 units school credit during a semester, Fall/Winter/Spring/Summer
- Working in a position simular to what you will expect to experience upon entering the workplace.
- Typically paid.
Internships:
- Normally take place during the summer and last a limited amount of weeks.
- Rarely count for school credit.
- Typically unpaid.
- Can receive scholarships and a stipend if it's located far from where you live.
