The Cooperative Engineering program takes its name from the academic cooperative agreements between the College at Fredonia and affiliated engineering schools. The program combines liberal arts and science at Fredonia with Engineering at another school, thereby maximizing the student's potential as a member of society and as an employer or employee. The agreements facilitate credit transfer and mutual recognition of general education requirements.
