While many students participate in Co-op, it is only one option among a variety of experiential education opportunities at the University. Northeastern’s reach extends into the surrounding community and around the world through study, research and service-learning projects.
Study Abroad
Northeastern’s innovative study-abroad programs offer more than just classes. There are extensive overseas contacts in 23 countries, meaning a student can immerse himself or herself in another culture by undertaking an independent research project, work in an international Co-op job or taking classes at a host institution.
Service learning, which gives students a chance to gain academic knowledge while working in a community-based organization, can be incorporated into virtually any class.
The Faculty/Undergraduate Research Institute supports students who assist faculty with important research. Participating students receive a stipend, spend about five hours a week on research and produce a research report that is presented at Northeastern’s annual Experiential Education Expo.
