Northeastern University

Massachusetts - United States

Overview

Northeastern started with an innovative idea: that education is about engaging with the world to solve problems and lead change. That distinctive approach, founded in cooperative education, has created an academic culture that infuses both undergraduate and graduate studies.

We empower our undergraduates to chart their own academic path, through more than 90 majors and concentrations and global experiential learning opportunities in 92 countries. Northeastern's 158 graduate programs prepare students for emerging new fields; students are able to take courses on campus, online, or in hybrid formats, creating the educational experience that best meets their needs.

The university is committed to the educational success of its students, offering need-based aid and a range of scholarships to reward the outstanding achievements of students from all walks of life.

Strategy For Success

Over the past seven years, we have designed a strategy for success and pursued it with unwavering focus. The primary components of our approach have been:

  • Invest in the Northeastern advantage, our co-op model, and take it around the world
  • Recruit the most talented and accomplished students
  • Build our faculty at a time when other universities are retrenching
  • Make strategic investments in research where we have opportunities for leadership

A relentless focus on these goals has led to clear and quantifiable results. The pages that follow provide a snapshot of these results, along with selected members of the Northeastern community who exemplify our success.

These achievements are both remarkable and collective. We all share in the pride of what has been accomplished and—in true Northeastern fashion—we will build on our success to reach even higher.

Our Mission

To educate students for a life of fulfillment and accomplishment
