Guidance Counselors

As a guidance counselor or college advisor, you work hard to educate, encourage, and support your students as they prepare for their futures in college. To make it easier for you, we've organized all of the important information about Northeastern's application process in one section. But don't forget to visit the rest of the admissions site for more detailed information on academics, co-op program, costs and financial aid information, and campus life.  

We also want to encourage you to take advantage of the special programs and opportunities we have for guidance counselors to learn more about Northeastern. We host a variety of events including Weekend Fly-Ins, Counselor Breakfasts, and individual meetings. Contact us to learn more.
