Successful students plan early to take advantage of RIT's "learning by doing" experiences to build marketable skills and explore career paths.

|
3 Ways to Roar This Week: |
|
|
|
- Explore "learning by doing" options
|
---------
Co-ops, internships, research, and study abroad are great ways to get marketable, professional experience. Experiential learning is required for all College of Science majors, so start exploring your options now. For an inside look at what a co-op is, how it fits your schedule (usually summer in COS), what you expect to get paid, and more, watch the video from an RIT student!

|
|
|
- Confirm your major's co-op requirements
|
---------
Professional experiences like co-op strengthen your resume, and there's more than one way to get them. In the College of Science, many summer research and international experiences can count as co-op too! Completing a co-op is beneficial to you because it can be recorded on your transcript. Check out whether co-op is required or optional for your major and what experiences qualify so you can begin planning early.

- Meet your Career Services Coordinators
|
---------
You don’t have to wait until you’re searching for a co-op or job to connect with Career Services. Your College of Science Coordinators can help you build your resume, prepare for interviews, practice job search tactics, and start thinking about your career goals.

My co-op exposed me to the culture of both the laboratory and academia, which I hadn't previously encountered. I had the opportunity to attend talks by Nobel laureates discussing their groundbreaking discoveries, participate in lab meetings where we addressed various issues and challenges, and explore journal articles that initially seemed beyond my grasp. I consider myself fortunate to have been a part of such an incredible laboratory, guided by an exceptional mentor.”
