Northeastern University Cooperative Education Program
Begining January 2004 the Biopolymers Facility became an
official employer for the NEU co-op program. We currently offer two undergraduate
positions available to all NEU students who wish to apply. These paid positions
are available for six-month rotations.
The NEU co-op program was established in 1909 and is now ranked as the #1
intern program in the country by US News and World Report. With our proximity to the NEU campus along Huntington
Ave we are in an ideal location for students to commute between work and home.
