Co-Op Program

The job market is extremely competitive today, and an undergraduate degree may not be enough to land you your dream job. Employers are looking for exceptional candidates, who, besides a great education, have on-the-job experience; candidates who can hit the ground running without requiring follow-up training.

  • Positions include brand/product management, market research, account management, sales representatives
  • Employers include retailers, manufacturers, wholesalers, international marketers
  • Tuition cost of the five-year program is the same as the four-year program.

 

In collaboration with industry, the Academy of Food Marketing aims to maximize job opportunities for graduating students through our unique five-year Cooperative Education program. The program allows you to alternate periods of classroom study with periods of paid employment in the food and allied industries.
