The Susquehanna Co-op Program gives you an opportunity to apply what you learn in class to real world business scenarios. As a co-op, you will work both individually and as part of a team in one of our trading, operations, or financial services groups. Co-op students are placed in teams based on their preferences, major, background and skills, and Susquehanna's most critical business needs.

A hallmark of Susquehanna's Co-op Program is the hands-on work experience you will receive. As a business co-op you may find yourself reconciling trades, compiling profit and loss reports, maintaining components of Susquehanna's intranet site, or researching potential new investments. Co-ops who perform well may be considered for full-time opportunities at Susquehanna, contingent upon graduation.

Susquehanna co-ops are given the opportunity to participate in projects that will contribute directly to the various businesses that they support. Co-ops are immersed into specific teams and interact with senior staff members on a daily basis. Co-ops will gain insight into Susquehanna's business and its approach to decision making.
