We are excited that you are considering a co-op/internship as part of your academic experience! Internships/co-ops are a great way to gain experience in your field and increase your chances of landing that "dream job" after graduation!
To register for co-op/internship credit, you will need to get the position approved for academic credit. Through that process, the academic approval will come from your Faculty Coordinator - this is your professor for the course so communication is essential. The Faculty Coordinator may visit your co-op on-site to meet with you and/or your employer; make sure to communicate this with your employer. Select the college (below) that houses your major to see the list of Faculty Coordinators.
Contact Co-op Manager Lisa McElfresh for updates at mcelfreshl1@nku.edu or 859-572-5680.
