You'll develop the analytical, computational, and programming skills needed to build financial models, analyze complex datasets, manage risk, and support data-driven investment and business decisions. A structured curriculum ensures you graduate with the technical depth employers expect, while elective coursework, co-op experiences, and opportunities for additional study allow you to tailor your education to your career goals.

Experience-powered learning is at the heart of a Northeastern education. Here are just a few of the opportunities open to you.
Experiential opportunities
Experiential learning is central to every D'Amore-McKim student's education, providing you with the opportunity to apply classroom learning and gain transformative experiences in a real-world professional context. To fulfill your business experiential learning requirements, you can pursue co-op or other approved options—such as vetted internships (including summer analyst roles), part-time co-ops, and Professional Practicum programs in London or Oakland. In addition, D'Amore-McKim offers students additional layered opportunities such as real-world project-based classes, involvement in academic research projects, student leadership and mentorship programs, and participation in Northeastern's innovation ecosystem.
Co-op roles are competitive and employer-selected. Students participate first-hand in the job search process with the support of a co-op advisor, which helps prepare them for their full-time job search upon graduation. While placement is not guaranteed, nearly all students earn and complete at least one co-op before they graduate.
Current co-op opportunities include:
- State Street
- PwC
- Bain Capital
- Wellington Management
