Northeastern University: CEFAM Partner

Founded in 1898, Northeastern University (Boston, Massachusetts) began developing models specifically for work-study, where students spend time in the classroom focusing on Business and Management Theory while simultaneously working in the field, therefore learning through experience, and developing skills as well as earning funds to support their education. Today, 2900 corporations are active participants in this “cooperative education” program, and employ over 8000 Northeastern students each year. Every CEFAM student who attends Northeastern participates in this co-op program. 

Northeastern is one of CEFAM’s most established partners, going back to our founding in 1986, and CEFAM is honored to be one of only three dual degree partners currently at Northeastern.
