Early Co-Op

Speare’s pioneering spirit was evidenced in his institution of the Co-operative Engineering School, the second cooperative education program in the United States. The program, based on the “earn while you learn” principle, was eventually adopted throughout Northeastern, providing technical training to young men unable to afford an education at established universities. Still in existence, the Northeastern Cooperative Plan allows students to combine their studies with relevant work experience.
