Co-op Consulting Program

An innovative experiential learning model

Co-op consulting is built on the foundation of Northeastern’s renowned co-op program, giving teams of four to eight students the opportunity to work directly on industry consulting projects. Students fully lead the design, development, and implementation with faculty and peer support, while industry and community partners gain a fresh way to engage with new talent who tackle projects from start to finish.   

Where education meets innovation

“We’re taking an idea and from scratch, we’re building it up to exactly what industry partners need”: Northeastern students and faculty discuss the co-op consulting model of experiential learning and the advantages for both participating students and partner organizations.
