• Internship Track – Single work term commitment that is available for any school term. Dow encourages students to apply for a work term other than summer. Students must reapply and be reconsidered for additional work terms. 

• Alternating Term Co-op (ATC) Track:  Dow Operation’s 3-term work commitment where a student alternates between taking classes on campus and working terms in our various Operations departments.  One (or more) of the work terms must be in the spring or fall semesters (i.e. can’t do all 3 terms in the summer).  Back-to-back work terms are allowed. If a student wanted to complete terms beyond the 3-term commitment, they would need to reapply to be considered.  Students considering the ATC should consult with their academic advisors to understand how working one or more non-summer terms could impact graduation date.
