NEU or Tulane?

The NEU college of science web site lists some co-op employers and for each of the Bio related fields (neuroscience,biochem, bioed, biotech, etc.), there seem to be around 10-12 employers listed (with a fair amount of overlap across all of these fields). It is unclear how many co-ops each of these employers hire and how intense the competition is for NEU students for these spots.

In contrast, the Khoury college of computer science at NEU does not list specific co-op employers but lists job titles such as cloud software engineer, software engineer, software developer, etc. Being in the technology space in the bay area, I think this would likely translate to a large number of employers (although the current environment is not the greatest for most tech employers).

It would be great to get data on co-op hiring for each major - # of employers, # of hires per employer, # of applications per student, # of offers, # joined, etc. Co-op is a big/biggest draw of NEU and a quantitative way of assessing a student’s likelihood of landing a co-op and the type of employer would be a big help in making an acceptance decision.
