Northeastern University’s co-op program is among the largest and most innovative in the United States. More than 75% of Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, and Marine Biology students participate in co-ops.
The co-op program offers students opportunities to:
Gain skills and experience that make them sought after employees
Explore jobs in the public and private sectors
Clarify short and long term professional, academic, and personal goals
Integrate classroom and workplace learning
Develop relationships with mentors and peers
Each year, six month co-op assignments begin at the beginning of July and, again, at the beginning of January. If you enter Northeastern as a freshman, you are typically eligible to begin your first co-op at the beginning of the second semester of your sophomore year. Transfer students are usually eligible to start co-op after completing at least one academic semester at NU.
Although Co-op Faculty Coordinators make every reasonable effort to help you find a position, NU cannot guarantee that you will have a job each co-op term. Working closely with your Co-op Faculty Coordinator and meeting all required deadlines will benefit you in the co-op process.
