<p>Econ majors typically do internships at the federal reserve in New York or Boston and also IMF and World Bank. They also interview for finance positions as well. Northeastern does have ibanking and private equity coops but they are reserved for 2nd or 3rd year coops and typically are offered to students who are at the top of the class. I am international business and this is what my friends and coop advisor have told me. Just a few off the top of my head UBS, ML, American Capital, Jefferies and a couple other firms offer ibanking and typically only offer one or two spots. Im not too sure about consulting though, although BCG, Bain do recruit for coop. You could also use alumni for internships.</p>
<p>If you are doing math and econ those coops would be more inclined to look at quantitative roles such as trading. Pioneer investments, Blackrock, MFS, GMO, Wellington, and Bulge brackets offer quantitative roles usually regarding portfolio risk. The coop office has a big binder about the size of two sat books which lists coops only for business in alphabetical order by companies that you can take a look at. I spent like two hours doing research on this.</p>
