What Current Students Say See All 12 Comments >

The co-op program is by far one of the most significant advantages that Northeastern students have over students of other universities. Not only does it enable us to graduate with over a year's worth of real work experience, but it provides us with a significant base of connections in our professional network and starts us out in the job market with plenty of interview practice under our belts.
