Cooperative education students earn course credit while working on professional assignments.

Summer | High School | Undergraduate | Graduate | Cooperative Education

Let us help you earn your degree. Through our Cooperative Education Program, you can earn course credit while you work with us and gain valuable experience in your field of study.

This work-study program is available to both graduates and undergraduates. Cooperative assignments with participating schools are available in terms ranging from three to eight months–after which students return to school full time. Year-round assignments are available to local students for a maximum full-time enrollment of 12 months.

Documented assignments must be in a professional, Sandia-focused discipline–that is, science, math, engineering, technology, CIS/MIS, and business.

As a Cooperative Education Program participant, or Co-op, you will receive...

• A competitive rate of pay that is based on the number of completed credit hours
• Relocation paid
• Assistance with finding local housing and local transportation
• Opportunity to make a formal presentation
• Professional development training

To be eligible, you must...

• Provide written verification of enrollment in the school's cooperative education program during co-op work terms
• Be enrolled and maintain full time status during co-op academic terms (12 credit hours for undergraduates, 9 hours for graduates)
• Have a 3.2 or higher cumulative GPA

We make our selections based...
on your interests, academic achievement, applicable experience and Sandia's workforce needs. Apply a minimum of three months prior to your desired start date.
