The attention to your career after you graduate

The co-op program is what really makes Northeastern stand out. Nowhere else can you work for a full 18 months as a part of your undergraduate curriculum and get paid for it, and usually come out with a nice job offer. The location is also unbeatable, right in the middle of the city, but with an enclosed campus with lots of green space.

What is unique about Northeastern University is its coop program. This program is what sold me to come to this school. As a Pharmacy major, I will be going on coop 3 times in 4 month periods. Coop is when a student works in a hospital or retail pharmacy to learn first hand about Pharmacy. I think it is an amazing program because it teaches students things they would not be able to learn in class.

What I enjoy most about this school is the diversity it offers to students, not only in academics but within the student body itself, lending to a unique collegiate atmosphere and experience.

Northeastern offers the co-op program which is something I had never seen before in a university. Up to three semester long co-ops are structured into each students scheduling and the student is truly able to explore what they will actually be doing when they graduate as well as making money and gaining up to a year and a half experience in the workforce. Co-ops offer valuble experience and are an incredible opportunity to make connections and land job offers when graduating.

Northeastern offers the tight-knit campus typically seen in rural or suburban areas in a busy and thriving metropolitan area.

Northeastern University stands apart from other schools because it is a 5 year college which incorporates a cooperative education learning experience. This is unique since students can participate in up to three co-ops allowing full-time employment in jobs that will directly prepare us for our career. When students go on co-op, they work full-time in designated areas of their choosing allowing up to one and one half years of practical work experience prior to graduation. Additionally, I can declare a fast track of study to graduate with a master's degree.
