Northeastern University’s academic programs are widely known for incorporating on-the-job learning experiences with academic training. The Department of Economics offers a Graduate Cooperative Education option in its Master of Science in Economics program. This exciting program option allows qualified students to enhance their practice-oriented graduate education in Economics with actual work experience.
To be eligible for the Co-op program, Masters students in Economics must meet the following requirements:
- Minimum GPA of 3.00 at the beginning of the Spring semester. For students entering the program in January, the GPA requirement is 3.00 at the beginning of the Fall semester.
- Completion of 4 core courses in your program prior to starting Co-op
- Completion of two full-time semesters on campus or within the US prior to going out on Co-op with 12 credits each semester
- Candidates must be available for full-time 6 month position, during the Jan-June or July-Dec Co-op cycles.
Important Note: Students must still complete all other curricular requirements associated with their program, so electing to add co-op to the program will increase the SH required for the degree by TWO billable hours.
