Hire Graduate Students

Are you an employer looking for applied computer science talent? Our master's students complete a co-op semester as part of their degree. Employers benefit from the flexibility of the program, the simple hiring process, and, most of all, the recruitment advantage: make better hiring decisions by working with potential employees before fully on-boarding!

The co-op program was phenomenal - the process was smooth, we had great candidates, and got to work with a superstar co-op!
