For Preet Khimasia, a third-year student in finance and business analytics, co-op was a major reason for choosing UC. Born in India, Khimasia knew he wanted to study abroad, but it was important to have a recognized leader in his chosen field.

UC had one of the best programs for what I wanted to do, he says. What really attracted me is I am a very hands-on learner and a very experiential learner. I cant just sit in a classroom and expect to study everything. I need to actually get out and do in order to be successful.

Cooperative education began at UC in 1906 and its program has remained a leader in experience-based learning ever since. The university ranks No. 4 in the nation for co-op, with Cincinnatis hands-on classroom extending to nearly every corner of the globe, from Fortune 500 companies to trailblazing experiences in places like China, Tanzania and South America.

UC students earn a collective $75 million annually working for thousands of employers including General Electric Aviation, Disney, Toyota, Kroger, Procter & Gamble and many more. UC has nearly 2,000 global partners for the co-op program with students participating in over 7,500 co-op opportunities each year.

Forbes recently noted the universitys leading position and longevity in cooperative education.
