PROGRAMS OFFERED
Courses Only - No Degree/Certificate
See Below
Through Cooperative Education or “CO-OP ED,” students may earn
college credit for their on-the-job work experience.
CO-OP ED is designed to enhance the student’s academic and personal
development. Educational objectives are carefully planned and
coordinated with the student’s employer to provide realistic employment
relationships.
To be eligible, students are expected to:
• Attend two (2) 2.5 hour seminars;
• Be enrolled in seven (7) or more units (which may include CO-OP
ED units) at LACC during regular Spring and Fall semesters;
• Be currently employed and/or have arranged an internship through
an employer; and
• Complete a CO-OP ED application and submit the CO-OP ED agreement,
signed by the employer.
For students working in their major or a related field, a maximum of four
(4) units may be earned per semester for a total of sixteen (16) units
maximum in CO-OP ED. The same CO-OP ED course may be repeated
for a maximum of four (4) semesters. Students may enroll in one (1)
section number and a maximum of four (4) CO-OP ED units per semester.
