Tied with Boston University for a #39 ranking among universities by U.S. News & World Report, Northeastern is known for its co-op program, which allows students to gain substantial work experience at domestic and foreign companies before receiving their diplomas. Students can complete two co-ops before getting their degree in four years, or three co-ops and get their degree in five years. Last year, Princeton Review ranked the school #5 for undergraduate entrepreneurship programs.
