Boston

Founded in 1898, our Boston campus is the heart of our global research enterprise. The city is a hub of education, life sciences, finance, and medicine, and Northeastern works alongside it to develop talented leaders in these industries and more.

Educating Boston’s future leaders

Northeastern is deeply embedded in Boston’s culture of leadership and innovation. While our students learn and grow as researchers, problem solvers, and creative thinkers, the city gains workforce-ready professionals who are prepared to make a difference. Our partners include Dana Farber, Wayfair, Boston Scientific, Liberty Mutual, State Street, and the Boston Red Sox, among other globally recognized entities that help students connect their studies to the real world.
