Northeastern University was established in 1898 and its main campus in Boston serves as a comprehensive center for learning, discovery, and engagement with the city of Boston and its surrounding communities. With a strong emphasis on experiential learning and global experiences, the university provides an array of programs across various disciplines. The cooperative education program, or co-op, is a cornerstone of the Northeastern experience, allowing students to alternate semesters of academic study with full-time, paid work in positions related to their major or career interests. Its diverse student body, including a significant number of international students, finds a welcoming and inclusive community, rich with opportunities for academic growth, cultural exchange, and personal development.
