Co-op Program (Study and Work)

In a cooperative learning program—("Co-op")—the work you do in the classroom is combined with practical learning opportunities outside the classroom. Depending on your area of specialization and authorization, you can complete up to three 6-month Co-op periods during your bachelor's degree. You work with professionals in your chosen field and have the opportunity to immediately apply techniques learned in the classroom to real-world situations. You'll get paid while you learn, pay no tuition during Co-op and have a head start on your career when you graduate.

Northeastern's Co-op program was created in 1909 and was one of the first of its kind in the United States. Today, you have the opportunity to work at more than 2,000 locations including world-leading institutions in business, science, technology, healthcare, the arts and public service. Companies like Fuji, Google, MTV ,and UBS are part of Co-op. You can also propose your own Co-op position in the U.S. or anywhere in the world. You can get more information on our Co-op program at Northeastern's website.
