Cooperative Education and Internship Program for NMSU Global Campus

 NMSU has a national reputation for its Cooperative Education (Co-op) and Internship Program. Today’s competitive employment market highly encourages you as a NMSU Global Campus student to participate in an experiential learning experience connected with your major as you complete your college degree. By participating in the Co-op / Internship Program, you will integrate academic theory and practical application in an actual job and potential career. Co-op / Internship assignments provide an array of work experiences with employers in business, industry, government and nonprofit organizations.

We understand as an NMSU Global Campus online student, developing job experience and finding employment while attending college can be a challenge. A COOP or Internship offers valuable career training experience. Check with The Office of Experiential Learning for possible face to face or online/remote positions in your area.

Continuing full-time students are eligible for all Co-op / Internship work assignments and must be completed prior to graduation. For each semester (spring, summer, & fall) that a student completes an approved Co-op / Internship, a notation is placed on his/her official academic transcript.

To earn the permanent official notation on the academic transcript, required documentation must be completed and turned in on time to the Cooperative Education & Internship Program Coordinator before and after each Co-op / Internship assignment.

You may register full-time for one or more Co-op / Internship positions throughout the U.S.; and each Co-op / Internship position will last the duration of an academic semester. While on a full-time Co-op / Internship, you will have full-time academic status with NMSU, which protects enrollment status, financial aid status, scholarship status, and other student eligibilities.

You may also register part-time for a Co-op / Internship position, also known as a parallel Co-op / Internship. Employers are generally located within commuting distance of the university. While on a part-time Co-op/Internship, students work approximately 20 hours per week concurrently with full-time academic enrollment.

If you are interested in cooperative education  or an internship, register with the Cooperative Education and Internship Program, and complete all registration requirements. Required activities include accessing the student’s NMSU Handshake Account and completing an online orientation session. NMSU Global Campus students are responsible for submitting required enrollment forms, a mid-semester follow-up, and a program evaluation by both you and the employer.  International students participating in a Co-op / Internship must follow the application and approval process for Curricular Practical Training (CPT) through the International Student and Scholar Services office along with the Cooperative Education and Internship Program process.
