Co-op at Lindner
Each semester, Lindner undergraduate students can register for paid co-operative education work engagements, similar to signing up for courses. Lindner Career Services helps place students for co-ops that fit their specific interests and programs of choice. The number of co-op experiences required for graduation varies for first-year, transfer and Lindner Business Honors students. Students and employers customize co-op experiences with several flexible options, including full-time, part-time and project-based engagements.
