courseworkafter being on co-op. Surveys were deployed to all students that were out on co-op during thesummer of 2016 to get a better understanding of students’ transition back to campus afterbeing on a co-op.Understanding students’ transitions back to campus after being on a co-op are critical given thewidely acknowledged positive views of co-ops. While there is literature on the benefits of co-opparticipation, little research exists on the transition students have from coming back from a co-op experience. The results will add to the body of knowledge by developing new theories in thefield that inform co-op programs and institutions that encourage co-ops.Literature ReviewCooperative educational programs (co-ops) have a long history, starting at the
