Graduate
Northeastern University graduate students have a distinct advantage: the value added to rigorous academics by an institution whose mission includes the broad-based integration of experience into academic pursuits.
Northeastern combines the highest level of graduate scholarship across disciplinary boundaries with experiential learning opportunities, including cooperative education positions.
Our leadership in cooperative education at the undergraduate level has provided a springboard for Northeastern to become a pioneer in graduate cooperative education. Several colleges already offer co-op to graduate students in selected programs, and graduate co-op opportunities are expected to expand in the coming years.
Graduate School of Arts and Sciences
