About the College
College Overview
As a College of Arts and Sciences student at Northeastern, you move your education beyond the classroom. Through our hallmark experiential education programs, you apply your classroom knowledge to many other types of real-world experiences. You might alternate periods of study with professional employment in a co-op position. Internships also provide work experience and compensate you with academic credit rather than a paycheck. Or you can increase your skills by addressing community needs in a service-learning experience. Study-abroad programs let you experience campuses and cultures around the world. You might even decide to partner with a member of the faculty on a research project sponsored by FURI (Faculty Undergraduate Research Institute). The possibilities are limited only by the scope of your imagination.
Undergraduate
The College of Arts and Sciences offers courses in the arts, humanities, social sciences, mathematics, and the natural sciences. We offer over 60 majors, double majors, special interdisciplinary majors, and a dual-major program that combines two disciplines while still allowing time to pursue electives.
Graduate
Our graduate students earn master's degrees, doctorates, and graduate certificates in a wide range of disciplines. Over the last 10 years, our faculty members have published more than 300 books and thousands of articles and papers, won numerous awards for scholarship and, as researchers, attracted nearly $19 million from outside agencies in one year.
The Boston Advantage
Northeastern is located in the heart of Boston, a city rich in historical, cultural, entertainment, and dining opportunities. As a Northeastern student, you can visit the pub that inspired the hit television show "Cheers," cruise around Boston Harbor, walk the Freedom Trail, cheer the Red Sox at historic Fenway Park, rollerblade through parks along the Charles River, explore the diversity of ethnic neighborhoods, study at the Museum of Fine Arts, or enjoy a performance by the Boston Pops. All around town, you'll discover outdoor cafes, dance clubs, and first-class shopping. Once you call Boston home, you may never want to leave.
