Oceanside, Building 3700: 760.795.6772

This program is designed to develop skills and knowledge and to improve self-understanding by integrating classroom study with planned, supervised work experience. Co-op is organized to provide students with new, expanded, and practical learning opportunities on the job so they may achieve the knowledge, skills, and attitudes for career success.

Units earned from Co-op courses can be included as electives in the 60 units required for an associate degree and in certain certificate programs. Students studying under the GI Bill receive benefits only for enrollment in occupational work experience courses.

Co-op courses are available in many fields of study and are identified with 299 as their course number. Specific information about the Co-op Program is available on the Career Services website: www.miracosta.edu/careers.
