I didn\u2019t know what to expect but this experience has been rewarding. Meeting with an actual professional with many years of experience in the Accounting field who was willing to share his insights both in the professional and academic worlds was very informative. The highlight of the program was having the opportunity to visit an Accounting firm where I had the chance to meet with interns, MSU alumni, and see how a day is spent at an Accounting firm. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to participate in such a program that brings academia and business together.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Gain Work Experience: Experiential Education<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Cooperative Education Program<\/strong><br \/>\nCooperative Education, commonly known as a &#8216;co-op&#8217;, is a structured, academic-based program in which a student receives academic credit for participating in a co-op for the full length of one academic semester. <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During a co-op assignment, students are supervised by both their co-op supervisor and a faculty instructor.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Internships<\/strong><br \/>\nA paid, short-term work experience in which the student is able to gain real-world work experience in their field of study.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Micro-Internships through Parker Dewey<\/strong><br \/>\nMicro-Internships are short-term, paid, professional assignments similar to those given to new hires or interns.
