While most colleges offer a diploma, Lawrence Technological University provides the professional experience employers actually demand. Through our co-op program, you can build a high-impact resume and master industry skills in real-time, ensuring you are career-ready the moment you graduate. Experience and education happen side-by-side. At LTU, you can engage in co-op opportunities without stepping away from your classes.
LTU’s co-op opportunities connect classroom learning with Michigan’s leading industries—including engineering, manufacturing, technology, construction, architecture and healthcare—so you can build your resume, apply what you learn immediately and graduate with more than a degree: real industry experience.
Enrolling in the Co-Op Program can help you gain clarity regarding your career path and selected major!
To begin the co-op registration process, email the office at ltuocs@ltu.edu.
Being a part of the Co-op Program is not a requirement in fulfillment to graduate from Lawrence Tech, but is highly recommended. However, there are academic programs that mandate to complete a co-op, internship, or some type of field experience to graduate. Students should meet with their faculty advisor to discuss the process if that requirement relates to their major(s).
Once a student has been offered a co-op position and would like to receive academic credit, then the Office of Career Services will evaluate the work assignment(s) and approve registration. Newly hired co-op students will need to provide the Office of Career Services a copy of the job offer letter and list of job duties to validate co-op employment.
Co-op students must have completed a minimum of 55 credits and earned an overall GPA of 2.5 to be in the program.
It is important to note that course requirements are based on which co-op practicum a student is enrolled in for each work term. Thus, students in Co-op Practicum I have different requirements than students enrolled in Co-op Practicum II and III. Co-op Practicum III with consist of a formal presentation to be completed in front of peers, Career Services staff, and faculty members.
All Co-Op assignments are completed through Canvas. Please login to your Canvas account and select your appropriate Co-Op course. Contact the Office of Career Services at ltuocs@ltu.edu if you have any questions.
