What Makes Northeastern Different
The Co-op Model (Major Advantage)
Students alternate between academic semesters and paid full-time professional placements. Graduate with 12-18 months of real work experience, corporate exposure, and stronger job readiness than most peers. Co-op frequently leads to full-time job offers from employers.
Multiple Campuses & Pathways
Boston (main), London, Vancouver, Silicon Valley, Oakland. Some students may be admitted to global campuses or NU.in/Global Scholars programs. Understand campus placement carefully when applying.
Rising Selectivity
Northeastern has become increasingly selective, especially for CS, Engineering, and Business. It should no longer be treated as a “safe” private university.
Dr. Karan Gupta's tip: Some students think “It's just another Boston university.” In reality, the co-op system is a serious employability advantage, selectivity has risen sharply, and early strategy matters. Students who value career outcomes and industry exposure benefit significantly. Talk to us.
