Cooperative Internship Program

The PGA of America requires that all PGA Golf Management Program students complete at least 16 months of full-time (40 hours per week) cooperative internship work prior to graduation. This cooperative internship work must take place at facilities recognized as eligible for employment by the PGA of America. It is required that at least one of these experiences occur at a green grass facility. Additionally, this work must occur in at least three different types of settings.

Students have the opportunity to choose from numerous facilities including county clubs, resorts, public and municipal courses, military golf facilities, PGA/LPGA Headquarters, and PGA Section Offices. By completing co-op/internship assignments, students receive on-the-job training and academic credit as outlined in the UMES PGA Golf Management Curriculum.
