WatchWorld-Renowned Cooperative Education
The Cooperative Education Program at Northeastern University, also known as a “co-op,” is one of the largest and most innovative in the world, and Northeastern is one of only a few that offers a Co-op Program for Graduate Students. Through this program students gain industry experience in a wide variety of organizations, from large companies to entrepreneurial start-ups, while helping to finance their education.
In addition to our Boston campus, some master’s programs are offered at regional campus locations, including Seattle Washington, and Silicon Valley in California. To find programs at regional locations, search Academic Programs filtering by the campus location of interest, or view specific graduate programs for more information.
Over 15 graduate certificates are available to provide students the opportunity to develop a specialization in an area of their choice. Certificates can be taken in addition to or in combination with a master’s degree, or provide a pathway to a master’s degree in Northeastern’s College of Engineering. Master’s programs can also be combined with a Gordon Engineering Leadership certificate. Students should consult with their faculty advisor regarding these options.
Graduate program courses are offered as traditional full-time, part-time, on-campus, online, and hybrid options to meet student needs. Specific program descriptions indicate online availability or search for Academic Programs by selecting the Online/Hybrid Courses filter.
