Career Development Center
The Career Development Center (CDC) helps match students
with cooperative education opportunities and provides
a variety of career services to students and alumni.
Cooperative education is a learning approach that integrates
college studies with professional working experiences in
industry, business, or government. Students alternate semesters
between full-time work and full-time study. Salaries
among IIT co-op students are competitive and help defray
educational expenses. Frequently the co-op experience
improves employment opportunities upon graduation.
Full-time IIT students who are in their second through
fifth semesters at IIT and who have and maintain at
least a 2.0 GPA are eligible to apply for the co-op program.
The cooperative education program uses three established
schedules. These schedules are:
� Alternating: Students alternate terms of full-time work with
full-time school. A full-time work schedule must involve the
same number of work hours each week as other full-time
employees. A minimum of three full-time work terms with
the same employer is required.
� Sandwich: Students work three consecutive full-time work
terms in twelve months.

� Parallel: Students work part-time during academic terms.
Part-time employment must involve an average of 20 hours
of work per week. A minimum of six consecutive part-time
work terms with the same employer is required. Summer
work may be full-time, and the student may register for fulltime
co-op for the summer, fulfilling the requirement of two
part-time work terms.
Students on an alternating or sandwich schedule may take up
to six hours of coursework during a work term. Students on a
parallel schedule may take up to twelve hours of coursework.
Coursework over these limits during a work term constitute
an overload and require the approval of the dean of the
Undergraduate College.
