The future of
co-op
starts  here

Invented at the University of Cincinnati in 1906, Lindner continues to innovate cooperative education to meet the needs of today’s business world. 

We’ve created an ecosystem that unites our programs, experts, partners, and community for real-world impact - where employers and faculty actively participate in the educational process, creating an iterative cycle of innovation, feedback, and opportunity. 

This is how our students graduate with the skills, confidence, connections, and real-world competencies to launch their careers.

Programs

Our programs combine real-world experience with structured reflection — ensuring students don’t just learn, but learn how to learn fast. They graduate not only with a degree, but with experience, confidence, and career readiness. 

Experts

Our faculty and staff model the way with cutting-edge research and pedagogy, applying principles in the classroom, and offering vital market insights. By connecting research, teaching, and real-world application, they ensure learning stays relevant and creates impact.

Partnerships

Thousands of employers, alumni, and community partners provide not only opportunities, but co-create the learning process. Through continuous feedback and engagement, they help shape curriculum, ensuring students are career-ready from day one.

Community

Together, our programs, experts, and partnerships fuel innovation, economic growth, and opportunity in the city of Cincinnati, the region and beyond.
