| Course Outline - Co-op/Applied Learning Credit
Academic credit will be awarded for Cooperative Education/Applied Learning only when the student is enrolled at Eastern Kentucky University in the Cooperative Education Program. Credit may not be awarded for past experiences or for anticipated future experiences. A maximum of eight hours may be applied toward meeting graduation requirements for the associate degree and a total of sixteen hours toward the bachelor degree. The total hours earned may vary depending on your department. However, all co-op terms (semesters) will be noted on your transcript (Co-op 349a-n). Students should plan to be employed in a co-op position a minimum of two terms for the alternating plan and a minimum of three for the parallel plan with the same employer; however, if that placement is not beneficial or you would like to gain a different type of experience within your field, you may co-op with a different employer. The Co-op Program requires a minimum of 30 full-time weeks or 1200 hours of employment to receive a Cooperative Education Certificate. Hours may be worked over two or more semesters for full time employment or three or more semesters for part time employment. Each student must earn a salary, but must fall within state and federal wage guidelines. The Co-op Program also offers Applied Learning for one-semester work experience, available through Applied Learning 349 (contact the Co-op Office for the requirement for one term assignments).
