Following the successful lead of
itlier academic disciplines which
i be sent their students out of the
classroom to work alongside profes-
; iionals, Texas A&M University’s
I College of Business Administration
i is set to begin a training program of
i its own this fall.
The program is called cooperative
i education — or co-op to most stu-
i dents— and has been used for years
■ in engineering. Students who co-op
: isually alternate a semester in the
i classroom with a semester working
bra major business or corporation.
] Ihey receive a grade for their on-
i le-job performance, but more im-
lortant, university officials say the
i itudents are exposed to real world
j iroblems outside the traditional
i lassroom experience.
Wayne Terrell, newly appointed
j sordinator of cooperative education
n business administration, said he
ipects industry officials to welcome
j wsiness students with open arms.
“A program like this gives a stu-
lent a clear sense of where he is
ping and at the same time provides
j mediate value to the employer,”
A ferrell said. “I see no problem in
siting th program going quickly.
“Initially we will start in the spring
nth five to 15 students, but I fully
sipect these people to be the
rendsetters in the effort that will
eventually have a snowballing effect
rfdrawing more students into the
program."
Several companies already have
expressed interest in participating in
the Texas A&M effort. Placement
will focus on the Southwest, primar
ily in the Houston, Dallas and
Beaumont areas where the concen
tration of industry is the greatest.
“These students aren’t going to be
‘go-fers’ either,” he said. “What they
will have is a meaningful position to
gain a conceptual knowledge of that
business.
“It is not just a summer job situa
tion,” Terrell said. “The program
will be designed to operate year
round in order to match the best stu
dent with the best company.”
From prior experience in indus
try, Terrell said the typical coopera
tive student is often a goal-oriented
person, which is precisely what
business leaders are demanding.
In addition to placing students in
the real world of business, Terrell
will be promoting the executive de
velopment programs of the College
of Business Administration.
“More and more universities are
putting increased emphasis on get
ting the professional who has been
away for some time to come back to
school to update or learn new skills,
and Texas A&M is one of the leaders
in this type of executive develop
ment training,” Terrell said.
“There is a real need for this type
of intensified training,” he said.
