Each year, The Shriver Center places over 1,300 UMBC students in internship and cooperative education experiences in nearly 500 public and private organizations in the Baltimore/Washington area and abroad. These professional practice programs are a major resource for employers in the region and an excellent training ground for students.
By combining classroom study with on-the-job experience, students earn academic credit, grasp the links between theory and practice, and learn valuable job-related habits and skills. Shriver Center co-op and internship students consistently earn exemplary reviews from host organizations, often followed by an offer of full-time employment when they graduate.
