Program structure: Large dedicated business college embedded in the university that pioneered cooperative education

Resources: Further program-specific verification recommended.
Best entrepreneurship fit: To be refined in the next research pass.
Model: Co-op is built into Lindner bachelor's programs; students graduate with multiple paid professional experiences
Internship / co-op: 2025–26: 1,200+ Lindner co-ops; business co-op pay around $20–$21/hour median/mean in 2024–25 data
Distinctive feature: Lindner students earned roughly $11M collectively from co-ops in 2024–25
Placement: 2024–25 undergraduate career outcomes near 88–90% within three months
Compensation: 2024–25 overall undergraduate mean starting salary $65,711; median $64,000
Employment geography: Strong Cincinnati corporate ecosystem plus national placements; employer network is a major differentiator
Need / institutional aid: Need aid for nonresidents is not the main strategy; major merit/full-cost competition matters
Merit / major upside: Cincinnatus Presidential historically provides a major full-cost route; verify 2027 terms
