The Industrial Practice Programs (IPP) include undergraduate and graduate student participation in cooperative education, internships and curricular practical training. Students apply academic theory to practical on-the-job problems while working alongside seasoned professionals. Participation in IPP offers a chance for full-time employment after graduation and for students to earn while learning.

On this page you will find information, resources and documents essential to a successful IPP experience. UTD campus (including IPP office) uses "Handshake" as an online database to list internship vacancies and student profiles. If you have any questions, please contact the office at 972-883-4363.
