Co-op > How Co-op Works

 Who?
Any full-time, upperclass undergraduate student with 45 credits and a 2.0 GPA or higher.

 What?
Six-month periods of relevant employment related to your major or interests.

 Where?
Anywhere in the world, including your hometown.

 When?
Usually starting in the spring or summer of your sophomore year. Co-op continues through senior year of the five-year program, alternating with classroom study. Students may accelerate their program of study by pursuing a four-year curriculum with fewer co-op periods.

 Why?
Because the combination of classroom study and co-op is the best possible way to develop the passion for learning, practical capability and maturity that lead to a lifetime of achievement.

 How?
Northeastern connects you with thousands of job sites and positions. Or you can propose your own.
