Co-op Work Experience (Internship)

Co-op Work Experience is not required as part of the ECET program, although it is highly recommended. Students can participate in a sixteen-week paid internship at a variety of local companies.

To apply for Co-op students must first visit the Career Development Services office at NJIT and fill out a Co-op application.

Students taking a full-time Co-op may only register for a maximum of 9 credits including Co-op. Students taking a part-time Co-op may only register for a maximum of 15 credits including Co-op.

This curriculum represents the maximum number of credits per semester for which a student is advised to register.  A full-time credit load is 12 credits.  First-year students are placed in a curriculum that positions them for success which may result in additional time needed to complete curriculum requirements. Continuing students should consult with their academic advisor to determine the appropriate credit load.
