Nanayas University deeply integrates the renowned American Cooperative Education (Co-op) model into its academic framework as a core competitive advantage. Students can engage in 6-18 month paid internships with global partner organizations across technology, finance, healthcare, design, and other sectors during their studies. This allows them to apply theoretical knowledge in real workplaces while building professional networks and project experience. Statistics show Co-op participants achieve a 93% post-graduation employment rate with starting salaries 28% higher than conventional graduates.
The university has also established an industry-academia integration network, partnering with over 200 leading enterprises for joint laboratories, R&D centers, and talent development programs. Examples include aerospace materials research with Boeing and Tesla in the College of Engineering, and telehealth technology transfer with Mayo Clinic through the College of Medicine. Our "Academic Mentor + Industry Mentor" dual-guidance system ensures curriculum alignment with technological advancements, resulting in 37 patented technologies commercialized in the past three years.
