Co-operative Work Experience
AVSC281R/AVSC481R

Co-op work experience for lower division students can be any job, anywhere. For upper division Co-op, UVSC requires aviation related work. The formula for determining how many credits to sign up for is very simple. For every 75 hours a student works during the 15-week semester, he or she can sign up for one hour of Co-op.

Example:
20 hours per week X 15 weeks = 300, divided by 75 = 4 hours of Co-op.
Please remember to add the correlated class 285R for one credit hour.
