Located in the heart of Boston, Northeastern University is the “Ultimate Urban Campus”. It is a university transformed - from a night school at a local YMCA in 1898 to one of the nation’s top private research institutions. Northeastern has spent $500 million on new facilities including classrooms, a world-class fitness center, and eleven new residence halls. “When people talk about the hot places to go to college in the Boston area, Northeastern is now mentioned along with Harvard and Tufts Universities and MIT,” hailed The Chronicle of Higher Education.

Home to 14,000 undergraduates from all 50 states and 125 countries, Northeastern’s tree-lined 67-acre campus is situated within walking distance to many of Boston’s cultural treasures including the world-renowned Museum of Fine Arts, Symphony Hall, stylish Newbury Street with its trendy shops and cafes, and Boston’s landmark building, the Prudential Center. It is also close to legendary Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, the Charles River and much more.

The signature of Northeastern University is its world-renowned Cooperative Education Internship Program (Co-op). The result of this combination of classroom study and real-world experience is that more than 50 percent of Northeastern students are offered a job from one of the organizations where they had completed an internship through the co-op program.
