About Northeastern
Founded in 1898, Northeastern University is a private research university in the
heart of Boston. It is a leader in interdisciplinary research, urban engagement
and the integration of classroom learning with real-world experience. Our unique
Co-op program (i.e. study and work) is one of the largest and most innovative in
the world and is ranked among the best in the Untied States. Northeastern's long-held
emphasis on applied research at the graduate level brings distinction in traditional
and emerging fields, including biotechnology, nanotechnology, subsurface sensing
and imaging, and urban public policy. We offer a large choice of undergraduate and
graduate programs that lead to degrees in six undergraduate colleges, eight graduate
schools and two part-time divisions. Get more information on our bachelor's, master's, and doctorate programs.
