Organizational Communication

Our signature experiential learning model combines academics with professional practice to help students gain relevant, real-world skills they can apply to their desired industry. Northeastern offers a variety of ways for students to add experience to their resumé, including:

Experiential Learning at Work – Working professionals collaborate with their employer to develop a project that addresses a key business need their company has in an area they want familiarity with.

Experiential Network (XN) – Students work virtually with a sponsoring organization on a short-term project over a six-week period.

Full-Time Co-op Opportunities – Students on co-op work in a paid position in their field of study for three to six months.

Our admissions process operates on a rolling basis; however, we do recommend the application guidelines below to ensure you can begin during your desired start term:
