Since University of Cincinnati educator Herman Schneider's invention of co-op 1906, UC has grown to be consistently ranked Top 5 for co-op in the nation in U.S. News & World Report. The Lindner College of Business is proud to further this powerful tradition.

Leading co-op business school

Co-op at Lindner is a game changer, enabling our students to engage in multiple, paid professional work experiences that allow them to explore career options, enhance their resumes and expand their networks. These experiential learning opportunities also fit the real and varying needs of employers as they build their talent pipeline.

Our co-op program is one of the first reasons students list when asked why they chose Lindner. Meanwhile, our employer partners trust us to connect them with top talent, year after year. 


Your next new hire

Flexibility underlies Lindner’s innovative approach to co-op, balancing the needs of the modern business student with employers' practical needs. Full-time, part-time, any-time, remote or hybrid, we match the needs of top employers with the skills and interests of top talent.
