Global Co-Op Students can live, work, and conduct research in 90+ countries on an international co-op. International cooperative education is a great way for students to develop the knowledge, awareness, perspective, and confidence to feel comfortable anywhere in the world. The experience gained through an international co-op assignment is significantly broader and deeper than the experience offered in traditional foreign study programs. Employers include multinational corporations, international agencies, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

Dialogue Of Civilizations The award-winning Dialogue of Civilizations program takes Northeastern students of all majors around the world to experience different cultures first hand through meetings and discussions. The faculty-led Dialogue of Civilizations is an intensive series of two-to five-week summer for-credit programs in more than 20 different countries. Participants meet with government leaders, local groups, and students for one-on-one discovery. Participants may: learn a new language by immersion; take part in a service learning project; conduct research; and/or study a specific area of interest.

Traditional Study Abroad programs are available to students who wish to study in another country and transfer credit back to Northeastern. Students may choose to spend an entire year abroad through the Experiential Year Abroad program, an international experience option that provides students the opportunity to extend a traditional study abroad or Dialogue of Civilizations trip with a six-month international co-op.

Service Learning . As an urban university, service-learning is part of Northeastern’s ethical mission. But more than good works, service-learning at Northeastern is an academically rigorous experience.
