With more than 2,700 students participating, Georgia Tech's program is currently the largest optional co-op program in the United States and has perennially been listed in U.S. News & World Report as one of the "Top Ten" co-op programs in America.

The last day to apply for the Co-op Program is the third Friday of each semester.
The Graduate Co-op program provides graduate students with the opportunity to work with industry and government leaders in their respective areas of study. In order to participate in the Graduate Co-op Program, students must first receive approval from their major school to work for a semester in full or part-time assignments. Research for master's and doctoral theses may be related to the work assignments, and is jointly supervised by Georgia Tech faculty and company staff.
