The Cooperative Education Program is a five-year educational program which allows a student in various fields of accountancy, architecture, agriculture and life sciences, arts and sciences, business and industry, education, engineering and forestry to affiliate with a business, industrial or governmental firm while enrolled at Mississippi State University.
By combining practical experience with theoretical training, this program provides the student with a superior education. Once all of the degree requirements are complete, Close may begin full time work with the cooperating firm or will join another firm that demands this particular education.
