<p>This is rather disturbing that the communications major essentially is getting 6 month internships. Finding out that the coops that will come this way are not more than internships gives pause to say the least. Northeastern is really a great school but if communications doesn’t really advance the students with coop in a more substantial manner, they might as well go to BU that has a serious communications department or Syracuse for that matter, do “internships” in the summer, and graduate in 4 years. If this is the case, it would perhaps make sense for communication majors to transfer before coop starts going into their junior year so they make better use of their time and not count on the money.</p>
