BAEM Internship/Co-op Requirements

Participation Requirements Completion Requirements

Because it takes a good student to take courses out of sequence without being overwhelmed, this program is not recommended for students who are experiencing academic difficulties.

The minimum requirements are a grade point average of 2.7 or better, completion of all lower-division requirements, and admission to the upper division by the time a student begins his or her first industrial assignment.

Students should apply for the program early in the Spring semester of their junior year for the Intern Program. The program usually begins during the subsequent Summer or Fall semester.
