Programs
Co-op and Internships
The co-op is a five-year school/work program designed to integrate
classroom study with planned and supervised work experiences. Technological Studies co-op students normally are employed in manufacturing,construction or other industry related companies in semi-professional capacities.
The employment sessions begin during the summer after the sophomore year. The student contracts for at least two semesters of co-op during which they enroll in TECH 3801 (Professional Practice in Technology)
Internship
All Technology-industrial track students (major or minor) are encouraged to complete 12 hours of Internship (TECH 4841) in an industrial setting either during a summer or academic year. The arrangements are made through the department prior to the student's registration for the internship.
2+2 Programs
ONU has 2+2 articulation agreements with many technical and
community colleges. Transfer students may attend part-time or
full-time to complete their B.S. degree.
