Co-op offers students
experience in careers
By LAURA HERTENBERGER
Battalion Reporter
The Cooperative Education Prog
ram of Texas A&M University is 17
years old, 700 students strong and
still growing.
The program, which began in
1963 as a cooperative venture be
tween the College of Engineering
and engineering-related businesses,
was expanded in 1977 to make its
beneficial on-the-job working ex
periences available to students en
rolled in almost every college of the
university.
“We now have representatives in
all the colleges on this campus ex
cept the College of Medicine,” said
Steven A. Yates, the newly
appointed campus-wide co-op dire
ctor at Texas A&M.
Yates explained that only certain
departments within a college may be
involved such as the department of
meteorology of the College of Geos
ciences. The newest college to join
the program was the College of Busi
ness which started its co-op program
this semester.
Yates, who worked for several
years as a coordinator for the co-op
program in the College of Engineer
ing, explained the way the program
works.
Students who want to co-op work
out a complete four-year degree plan
which coordinates “working” semes
ters and “school” semesters. The
plan makes the most efficient use of
the student’s and the employer’s
time and allows the student to be in
school when courses he needs are
offered.
“The co-op program is not just a
summer job, ” Yates said. “A student
is expected to work at least three
work terms for the same employer. ”
This means a student who enters
the program will work at least one
semester for every two semesters he
is in school; two summer sessions are
equivalent to a regular semester.
Completion of three work terms
earns the student the Cooperative
Education Certificate upon gradua
tion from Texas A&M.
Durinq the working semester stu
dents are often encouraged to earn
transferable credits by taking night
courses at local colleges, Yates said.
Credit is also earned from an exten
sive research paper or work experi
ence report which the student must
write during his working semester,
he said.
“The average co-op student seeks
employment in his hometown and
lives with his parents during that
semester,” Yates said.
Yates said he encouraged co
oping students to consider first
which job will be most beneficial and
specifically related to his future
career plans, and then to look at the
appeal of its location.
The co-op program offers some
students a chance to work on the
Texas A&M campus or at various
places within the state. But there are
also Aggies working as far away as
Idaho, Washington, D.C. and Saudi
Arabia.

It’S
not exactly a checking account
and not exactly a savings account
But it does pay bills.
And it does pay interest on
everyday money until you need it.
The time has come to earn interest on the everyday money you use
to pay bills. Regular checking accounts don’t pay interest. The
MoneyStore pays you the maximum interest permitted by law until
the day you need to pay bills.
And the MoneyStore pays your bills direct — after you authorize
payment by telephone. No more checks to write, no envelopes to
address, no stamps to buy. Just call the MoneyStore, tell us who to
pay and how much and we ll pay your bills.
MoneyStore is new. It’s completely safe, it’s confidential, it saves
time and it earns interest on everyday funds until you need them.
