We visited Northeastern a few weeks ago and both my girls loved it. One is planning to apply to CAMD in Graphic Design. I’m curious what some of the coop opportunities have been in this area. Please share any first or second hand experiences. She is also interested in user interface design. THANKS!
I’d check the CAMD webpage… there aren’t too many current students, esp second or third year students who would have done coops already, on this site. My younger D is in CAMD but for architecture and starting second year. She’ll do her first coop next fall.
In general, not many CAMD students on here. Even the CAMD friends I have are specialized fields like architecture and animation which may not be helpful here. The architecture friend did a co-op for a firm in SF and the animation one worked for a small studio in Boston.
Try reaching out to CAMD to get some more info - they will likely give a better (even if rosy) taste of the types of jobs.
They also vary widely by CAMD major. For example, a good friend of mine is communications and worked in recruiting for The Boston Globe then for a design firm writing content in SF. I’m guessing those aren’t applicable for a graphic design co-op though.
