[quote=Anonymous][quote]What is "co-op"model.[/quote]

They encourage and support taking semesters "off" of school to intern at companies and organizations around the world.  While on a coop, you don't pay tuition.  The system is set up so that you can do one or two semester of coop and still graduate in 4 years, so the overall cost of the degree ends up being lower (i.e. you only pay for 3 years), though a decent number of kids do 3 coop semesters and graduate in 5 years.  Here is a snippet from their website  ([url]https://careers.northeastern.edu/cooperative-education/[/url]):

[quote]By alternating semesters of academic study with periods of full-time work, students are able to transform work across academic and professional contexts. Co-op provides students the opportunity to explore or refine potential career paths, make valuable industry connections, broaden perspectives, and acquire the skills and knowledge needed to succeed —all while learning and growing outside the comfort zone of the classroom. This integrated experience develops learners who are highly competitive upon graduation – 93% of NU graduates are employed or enrolled in graduate school nine months after graduation (multi-year average).

Cooperative education has been a historical strength of Northeastern University’s experiential learning brand.  Each year students at every level and on every campus location participate in this signature model of experiential learning.[/quote][/quote]
