Prospective Students
All engineering students take a common curriculum during the first year and do not commit to an engineering major until the beginning of the sophomore year.
Cooperative education begins after the first academic year and continues until graduation with students alternating periods in school with paid-engineering-work periods. Our students graduate with 18 months of real-world experience from our 600 engineering co-op employers in 33 states.
Additionally, many of our students complete a minor in disciplines such as Business, Computer Science, and Biomedical Engineering without taking course overloads.
Every Wednesday is Engineering Wednesday at Northeastern University (except December 27, 2007) - a "mini" open house for prospective undergraduate engineering students and their families; an engineering-specific information session is followed by a tour of the College of Engineering led by one of our students.It is an opportunity to learn about our academic programs, co-operative education, support services, and the admissions process; see our facilities;meet other faculty and staff; and get your questions answered.
You do not need to pre-register for Engineering Wednesday. Just pick a Wednesday and arrive at 11:00 AM to 110 Behrakis Center. The program will last approximately two hours. Many attendees also choose to take a general campus tour on the same day. These tours leave from 110 Behrakis Center on-the-hour from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
We invite you to visit us in Boston and please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions.
