Gain a career-advancing education at a top tier university in the U.S.

Thank you very much for your interest in Northeastern University.

A top-ranked global research university
Founded in 1898, Northeastern is renowned for its experiential learning model, high-impact research, global partnership network, and worldwide reach. For over 100 years, we have been a world leader in cooperative education (co-op), the University's cornerstone experiential learning program.

Opportunities to apply what you learn in the classroom to real-world challenges.
Experienced-powered learning is at the heart of Northeastern's flexible education model. Our programs blend rigorous classroom academics with the opportunity to gain practical, real-world experience working at the university's 3,000+ employer partners in the U.S. and worldwide. Students build their resume and professional network while earning their degree — in preparation for entering the global workplace.

Co-op provides students the opportunity to explore or refine potential career paths, make valuable industry connections, broaden perspectives, and acquire the skills and knowledge needed to succeed — all while learning and growing outside the comfort zone of the classroom.
