Cooperative Education Program (Co-op ) at SIUE is a centralized work experience program for all majors which is a service of the Career Development Center (CDC). You are offered an opportunity to work in your major or career-related field of study for a salary in either parallel or alternating assignments. The Co-op program is a major component of the career development process in assisting you to gain career related work experiences in paid paraprofessional positions while attending SIUE.
For enrollment certification purposes, university-sponsored Cooperative Education participation is considered equivalent to full-time enrollment. This requires formal enrollment in an approved Co-op course through the CDC. You do not pay to enroll for the Co-op course nor receive credit/hours for the course, but do receive transcript recognition.

Whether studying a foreign language and its culture, observing international business practices, or participating in service learning activies, students who study abroad learn valuable new perspectives and ideas. SIUE offers opportunities for undergraduate study abroad in a variety of countries. These take the form of semester-long, direct exchange programs arranged by SIUE or approved study abroad programs offered by recognized study abroad organizations. SIUE students recently have participated in programs in China, Mexico, Chile, France, the UK, Austria, Spain, and Australia, just to name a few. In addition, SIUE offers short term travel study opportunities in which students accompany SIUE faculty to a foreign destination to undertake academic course work directed by that faculty member. Travel study programs vary in length from 2 to 6 weeks.
