Internship & Cooperative Education Makes the Difference

Real work -  Real experience
"An internship is an important key to linking 
academic theory to your career objectives."

The Internship and Cooperative Education program at Muskegon Community College is an academic program in which classroom study is combined with career related work experience.  These real world opportunities are with business, industry, and health care organizations to mention a few.  Students who participate must meet the eligibility requirements determined by faculty within their chosen discipline of study.  Internship and Cooperative Education students earn academic credit and learn to apply classroom skills while establishing professional contacts with employer on the job.
