Hear from the students

Northeastern’s reputation as an experiential powerhouse was cemented decades ago. Today, US News and World Report ranks it first for internships and co-ops. The university’s network comprises over 3,100 global corporate partners who are ever-willing to put their trust in its students and graduates.

CSSH master’s students have found positions at the Office of the Attorney General of Massachusetts, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Massachusetts Office of the Inspector General, Indigo Agriculture, Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), and several other esteemed organizations.

Many learners use this opportunity to spark positive change in the world by confronting social, economic, and environmental problems. For instance, Rose Leopold (Security and Resilience Studies`17) examined the resiliency of Boston’s Logan International Airport for her final project and presented to a state government agency. Currently, she consults as an emergency management specialist for Facebook.
