Co-op by the Numbers

Students can choose from more than 1,500 employers, including international locations — plus endless possibilities through self-arranged placements, giving students incredible options to gain insight into their career paths.

Co-op Salaries

Unlike many college work experience opportunities, the Drexel Co-op program offers students the opportunity to earn a salary while gaining professional experience. Even better, the majority of co-op experiences are full-time and paid, and those that are both carry a gross median six-month salary of over $22,000.
