Co-ops and interships (and other things like blossom’s examples above) help the job prospects. NEU requires “experiential learning”, which is often but not always co-op. That can be done in many ways elsewhere too.

I was concerned that DD, an Econ major, went straight through her last years of college w/o internship etc. However for two years she had a part time campus job doing IT support and worked her way up to weekend supervisor. That probably helped her land her job after graduation.

Another advantage to co-ops etc is that they help the student refine preferences of career area and/or grad school.
