Internships: Gain experience before co-op
Khoury College works with Northeastern’s Career Design team to help first-year students acquire professional experience prior to getting a full-time co-op job. While not required, we encourage undergraduates looking to build their résumé to seek internships during the summer after freshman year. Internships are a great way to develop hands-on knowledge in your field—especially in fields that may not offer co-ops—and propel you to success.

Global experience: Shape the world, change your future
Don’t just explore the world—experience it. Khoury undergraduate students work, study, and conduct research on seven continents through global experiences that include:
Dialogue of Civilizations

Study abroad
Spend a semester abroad at one of Northeastern’s partner institutions while taking courses related to your major and that count towards your degree. Learn from local faculty members at a foreign university and immerse yourself in the culture of cities like Athens, Rome, Madrid, Cape Town, Budapest, Hong Kong, and Sydney.
Global co-op
Tap into unparalleled career opportunities with international companies and organizations. You’ll gain professional experience in diverse cultures—from Canada and Germany to Ghana and Japan—while addressing key global challenges within the field of CS.
