Co-operative Education and Internship Programs
Co-operative education is a unique educational program in which students integrate classroom study with semester-long periods of paid, supervised work experience related to their academic major. At FAU, co-op is a structured learning situation in which students apply concepts learned in the classroom to real-world work environments.
Internships are defined as career-related experiences that enhance a student's marketability upon graduation. They may be full time or part time. Programs can be structured or unstructured as long as there is training involved in the experience, and they may or may not be for credit and may or may not be paid. Internships are found in every sort of organization.

Fraternity & Sorority Life
Our campus provides a wide range of academic, social, & community service activities for you and membership in a fraternity or sorority is a good first step toward enjoying all the benefits that FAU has to offer.
Collectively, fraternities and sororities constitute one of the largest student groups on campus. Fraternities and sororities are about scholarship, leadership, service, and lifelong relationships. It's about bettering the FAU community. It's about traditions, learning valuable lessons, and establishing lasting connections.
Every fraternity and sorority at Florida Atlantic University and across the nation was founded on the basis in shared values. But the journey to brother/sisterhood is unique to every individual; just as every person in the Florida Atlantic University fraternity and sorority community is a unique individual. The results, however, are the same for us all; lifelong friendships with people who share the values consistent with membership in a fraternal organization.
At their core, fraternities and sororities offer the opportunity for leadership experiences that can enrich a life on campus and beyond. Many leaders of today, including here at FAU, are members of fraternities or sororities.
The Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life encourages you to fully explore the non-committal opportunity offered to understand what makes our fraternity & sorority community so beneficial.
