Eligibility
The Cooperative Education (Co-Op) Program is open to qualified students in all major fields; however, the majority of students receiving cooperative education placement are in the majors of Math, Computer Science, Business Management, Management of Technology, and Accounting. To apply for Co-Op Placement students must have an overall GPA of 2.5 or better. ASU will accept Co-Op transfers from other colleges and universities with overall GPA’s less than 2.5 but that student must maintain an Athens State GPA of 2.5 or better once entering the Co-Op Program. All Co-Op students, at all times, must maintain an ASU GPA of 2.5 or better.
