Cooperative Education

The D’Amore-McKim Differentiator

The D’Amore-McKim School of Business develops leaders who will shape business in domains not yet discovered. Three distinctive mindsets – global, entrepreneurial, and lifelong learning – coupled with a cultivated focus on humanics education – the integration of human, technological, and data literacies – are at the core of the D’Amore-McKim experience.

Cooperative education and experiential learning are central to the experience of every D’Amore-McKim student, providing them with the opportunity to apply classroom learning and life experiences in a real-world professional context.

• Its value is a cost-effective strategy to recruit high-performing, self-aware, entrepreneurially minded undergraduate students as a talent pipeline for post-graduate hire. 
• Students engage with your organization bringing innovative mindsets, a high level of professionalism, and cultural agility.

The Co-op Experience

Employer Perspective

“Having interviewed hundreds of people for full-time and co-op roles in the past eight years, you can always tell when someone went to Northeastern. There is a tangible difference in the way Northeastern’s Co-op Preparation course equips students with professional skills.”

Student Reflections

“My three co-ops have been incredibly formative and diverse experiences. Not only has working in three different job functions within three separate industries propelled me to narrow my interests, but the invaluable guidance I have received from my mentors in the co-op office as well as my managers on the job have also been crucial in helping me carve my career path.”

“I have a much clearer vision of what I want and don’t want in a full-time position, which was one of my original goals when enrolling here. Graduating with so much work experience will set me apart from the competition when I join the workforce.”
