<p>Co-op/Academic Options
In order to provide the most flexible opportunities, Northeastern offers students the opportunity to complete one, two, or three co-ops—or none. (Although the core curriculum does require that all students undertake at least one form of experiential learning.) </p>

<p>Because of the co-op schedule, most students in the 5/3 option do not have summers off after their sophomore year. Instead, students switch back and forth between academic terms and co-op placements. </p>

<p>Regardless of which co-op option you choose, you’ll have formal and informal opportunities to reflect on and discuss your co-op experience, and the new perspectives it adds to what you’ve learned in the classroom. </p>

<p>5/3 option
In this track, students complete three six-month co-ops in five years.</p>

<p>5/2 option
In this track, students complete two six-month co-ops in five years.</p>

<p>4/1 option
Students who wish to experience co-op but complete their education in the traditional four years may take advantage of this option.</p>

<p>4/0 option
While most students do co-op, it is not required. Students who choose this option generally complete their degree in four years. </p>

<p>It is important to realize that co-op patterns vary based upon major and co-op division. Your academic advisor will offer guidance on this point. </p>

<p>Business & Entrepreneurship
Whether you are interested in joining a Fortune 500 company, founding your own business, or something in between, Northeastern offers a wide range of co-op experiences that will help you realize your dreams.</p>

<p>Northeastern prizes entrepreneurship (we were recently named among the nation’s most entrepreneurial campuses in the Princeton Review), so you will be able to pursue co-ops with start-up companies and connect with mentors who will show you what it takes to establish a new enterprise.</p>

<p>Our College of Business Administration offers co-op partnerships with scores of employers, in nine concentrations ranging from accounting to supply chain management.</p>

<p>And you will find numerous co-ops related to business and entrepreneurship studies outside the traditional business school disciplines, enabling you to combine your interest in business with other knowledge areas, such as economics, the music industry, computer and information science, and policing and security. </p>

<p>For example, our music industry concentration in the College of Arts and Sciences connects students with co-op positions at record labels, music publishing companies, and tour promoters; and our policing and security concentration in the College of Criminal Justice offers co-ops in corporate security departments in the United States and abroad.</p>
