Professional Practice Program
UC is the originator of the co-operative education (co-op) model. The concept was invented at UC in 1906 by Herman Schneider, Dean of the College of Engineering at the time. The program generally consists of alternating quarters of coursework on campus and outside work at a host firm, giving students over one year of relevant work experience by the time they graduate. All programs in the College of Engineering and Applied Science, as well as Architecture and all design programs in the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning, require co-operative education experience to graduate. Programs in the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business, and other colleges offer optional co-op opportunities. For a number of years, this system was referred to as "The Cincinnati Plan." Ranked fourth in the U.S., UC's Professional Practice (Co-op) Program is the largest co-op program at a public institution in the United States with over 3,000 participating students at over 1,500 companies in 25 countries. The office of Professional Practice is housed in the Steger Student Life Center. The Division of Professional Practice is broken up into three units:
