Northeastern vs UCSB

My daughter is 100% certain that she wants to graduate college in 4 yrs. I know that it is definitely possible to graduate Northeastern with a four-year degree, but we have heard that a LOT of people take the five-year track because co-op makes it difficult to earn the required amount of graduation credits. She’ll probably have to take some summer classes, which she’s sort of “meh” about but will do it anyway.

English, BA | Northeastern University Academic Catalog is the Northeastern English major 5-year plan, which includes 7 full semesters of courses and 2 summers of courses, along with 3 co-ops. Trying to cram it into four calendar years likely means taking overload semesters, and perhaps fewer co-ops and more summer courses.
