Cooperative Education
Northeastern’s cooperative education program, founded nearly a century ago in the College of Engineering, is one of the largest and most innovative in the world. Students gain up to 18 months of professional experience with the 600 engineering employers across 33 states and around the globe.

- Clarify short and long-range personal, educational, and career goals
- Explore jobs in engineering
- Connect academic study to real-world challenges
- Enhance job finding, job-survival, and career advancement skills
- Develop a professional engineering identity
- Meet financial responsibilities
