Northeastern University, founded in 1898 and located in Boston, is a private research university that is a leader in experiential learning, interdisciplinary scholarship, urban engagement, and research that meets global and societal needs. Many of Northeastern's 1,330 full- and part-time faculty members have garnered national and international acclaim for their achievements in teaching and research, with particular strength in interdisciplinary scholarship. Faculty members direct more than 35 research and education centers, highlighting the growing richness of our collaborative research environment.

The University offers a comprehensive range of undergraduate and graduate programs leading to degrees through the doctorate in six undergraduate colleges, eight graduate schools, and two part-time divisions. Our broad mix of experiential learning programs, including our signature cooperative education program, as well as student research, service learning, and global learning, build the connections that enable students to transform their lives.

Northeastern's 73-acre campus combines the green spaces and tree-lined pathways of a traditional college campus with the energy and diversity of a university set in the heart of a vibrant city. Located between the Museum of Fine Arts and Symphony Hall on Boston's Avenue of the Arts, our campus is a center of dynamic intellectual, social, and cultural activity.
