[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The two best at experiential learning are Georgia Tech and Northeastern.  They aren't in any financial difficulties.

The WSJ had an article about these types of colleges/programs

In Demand: The Colleges Where Students Start Jobs Right Away
University co-op programs are gaining popularity as more applicants weigh the value of a four-year bachelor’s degree

Coops are not needed most of the time. It’s hype. Top students at the majority of T20s get an in-semester internship (research or non) as well as summer experience. And then graduate in 4 years with multiple quality experiences not requiring time off for an official “co-op”.  It is a waste to do co-op schools unless your kid’s only other college options are huge state schools that make undergrad internships very competitive. [/quote]

OK thanks I'll send my son to a T20 instead of Drexel. [/quote]

These T20 schools are highly ranked for coop/internship.  
MIT, Duke, Cornell, Harvard, etc.
Coop program is optional added service and flexibility, basically enhanced internship especially for the highly ranked ones like Northeastern in that area compared to some schools charge you regular tuition while you are on coop while making it mandatory.  PP doesn't have a good information and idea.
