| What are Internships and Co-op? |
A program
coordinated by the ETSU Career and
Internship Services Office which allows students to earn academic
credit, receive pay for most placements, and gain valuable
on-the-job experience in a major/minor field of study.
Opportunities for internships and co-op occur in almost every academic
program at the university. The words internship/cooperative
education placements are industry terms that mean
the same thing, but used interchangeably by employers and
