The President’s Leadership Program staff recommends
at least one course focusing on the issues of
diversity, either as a general education offering or as it
relates to leadership, to prepare students for leadership
in a multicultural world. Considering the benefits
of a multidisciplinary education, students should select
electives from more than one disciplinary area.
COOPERATIVE EDUCATION
Cooperative education provides an educational plan in
which periods of study and periods of career-related
work are combined in one program, individualized for
each student. Students earn a salary and acquire
academic credit in their majors while experiencing, on
a temporary basis, their chosen career.
The experience gives cooperative education students
an opportunity to become well-acquainted with the
employer which, in many cases, leads to permanent
placement upon graduation. All cooperative programs
are administered by the academic departments.
