[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Graduation rate:

Northeastern has a 4 year program with 2 coops as well as 5 year 3 coop options. 
(5 year used to be the norm, but 4 year is more common now)
It's not any harder than any other school to graduate in 4 years.

USN&WR and many others use the graduation rate for it's ranking calculation.It's based on 6 years.  A lot of students change majors, study abroad, etc. so 6 year calculation is the norm.  https://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/articles/how-us-news-calculated-the-rankings

How is this relevant?  My point was very few at NE graduate in 4 years, 20 percent or less according to NE’s own data.[/quote]

which is outdated.

again 5 year was the norm 6 7 8 years ago.

the demand for 4 year program was high, thus they began that several years ago, and that is common now.

you pick and choose and it's not any harder to graduate in 4 years than other colleges with two coops.
