<p>Weenie,
My nephew graduated from NEU in '05 and really enjoyed the co-op experience. He was a criminal justice major and had co-op jobs in everything from campus security to security at a major Boston hospital where he learned such important things as how to properly use mace and handcuff a prisoner! Anyway, I am sure that his co-op resume was very helpful is demonstrating some practical experience. He is now a police officer in a major metropolitan area. Good luck to you and your son in your search!</p>
