co-op Education/Internships

<-- Back

Our students are highly recruited to fill co-ops and internships. Many companies target BGSU to find qualified business students as well as future employees. Our students have the opportunity to apply what they have learned in their courses to practical experience.

By obtaining a co-op or internship, students get an edge in the job market, gain valuable on-the-job experience, and grow professionally and personally.

Here’s what one BGSU business student had to say about his internship experience:

"As an intern at Marathon Oil, I was able to work side by side with business professionals and utilize the information that I had learned in the classroom to deliver real world solutions to real world business problems. My time as an intern was a great learning experience. When I returned to Bowling Green State University, I was able to relate the concepts being taught by my professors to the real world experience that I had gained over the summer."

Over 90 percent of BGSU’s co-op employers say they would hire the student as a permanent full-time employee after graduation. In fact, many students are offered a full-time position at the end of their co-op.

"Personally, I am very appreciative to the BGSU Supply Chain Management program for the excellent education and purchasing preparation that has allowed me to be successful at Honda of America Mfg. BGSU Supply Chain Management programs is one of a limited number of programs that fully prepares students for the purchasing environment. Based on a strong academic force and the application of actual case studies, student graduates are able to contribute immediately to their new employer."
