Co-op and Internships

The co-op is a five-year school/work program designed to integrate
classroom sutdy with planned and supervised work experiences. 
Technology co-op students normally are employed in manufacturing,
construction or other industry related companies in semi-professional
capacities.  The employment sessions begin during the summer after
the sophomore year.  The student contracts for at least three
quarters of co-op during which they enroll in TECH 380 (Professional
Practice in Technology)

Internship

All Technology-industrial track students (major or minor) are
encouraged to complete 15 hours of Internship (TECH 484) in an
industrial setting either during a summer or academic year.  The
arrangements are made through the department prior to the student's
registration for the internship.

2+2 Programs

ONU has 2+2 articulation agreements with many technical and
community colleges. Transfer students may attend part-time or full-time
to complete their B.S. degree.
