the co-op program explained | Northeastern University

hey guys! I thought I’d make a video answering some co-op questions and giving some insight about the co-op process in general! I couldn’t find a lot of resources online when I was figuring this out on my own so I thought you guys who might have just committed to northeastern (congrats!) or are considering coming to northeastern for university might find this topic interesting.
What I talk about in this video is completely based on my experience at the school and what I have learned. I tried to answer everything as best as I could and make it as clear as possible. The program is constantly changing and getting better so I apologize if any of the information is not correct. I hope it helps and thanks for watching! comment down below if you have any questions at all!

    Hey! Love this:) I work for admissions at Northeastern as a tour guide, and we like to describe co-op a as full-time entry-level position for 6 months (admissions doesn't like us saying internship) lol. Also, many majors you don't have to decide which co-op cycle you're on during your freshman year, and are able to move your cycle around (this was my experience, originally as a spring cycle but switching to fall cycle right before). I'll also just clarify that you are able to go on co-op if you are undeclared! Overall, great comprehensive overview of co-op!!

    Hello Tiffany. Just want to comment for the Undecideds that enter NEU. I entered Northeastern as an Undecided in the mid 1990’s. I had up to Fall of Sophomore year to decide what major I was going to be in. I took a recommended/required class that helped me decide what my major would be Spring Quarter (yes, the university ran on a quarter system back then.) of my Freshman year. It helped a lot. Not too sure if that is still the case now for the Undecideds. Just thought to let you know that might be an option for those who have no idea what their major would be; yet still want to apply to Northeastern. Great video and good luck in your future endeavors.

    Glad you found the video helpful! Usually when you get the offer, your employer will send you an offer letter with all the details of your employment (stuff like how much you'll get paid, your start date, etc.) and if something doesn't resonate with you, you can negotiate some of the terms then! hope this helps ☺️

    Thank you so much for this video!! I’m in the middle between choosing Northeastern or a state school and I want to see if it’s worth the money to go to Northeastern. I have a question though. Do I have to pay for tuition if I do co op? So during the fall of sophomore year would I have to pay the tuition for that semester and then when I do co op in the spring do I also need to pay? Or do I not pay tuition during co op and only pay for housing?

    Hii, Northeastern student here. When you are on co-op you don’t have to pay for tuition, you only pay for housing. Another cheaper option is to go off-campus during your co-op!

    Hey! I am from India. I am currently an IB DP2 student . I am falling in love with Northeastern more and more every day, learning new things about it. The Co-Op looks like a great opportunity and I am definately appyling to Northeastern. Though, there is one question I have in mind. What about the fee schedule during the years when students do Co-Op. Are we suppose to pay full tution during the Co-Op years as well or does it get reduced by half?

    I'm not sure how this would work, but it's probably possible! Maybe you could do this program right after your freshman year (when the spring semester ends in April and fall semester won't start until September) or you could try to find a 4 month co-op but I don't think those are common for engineering students

    I don't believe a co-op is required, however you will have to do some form of experiential learning, which can come in different ways I think such as lab research. But if you are a business/engineering/CS major, there is no reason at all to not do co-op.
