Undergraduate
As a 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.
The College of Science's broad-ranging programs in physical sciences, life sciences and mathematics can provide you with a deep understanding of emerging research and technology, encompassing such powerful disciplines as nanoscience, chemical biology, cognition and neuroscience, environmental and marine science, biochemistry, and the new, revolutionary field of network science. Furthermore, because interdisciplinary programs at Northeastern often cut across broad areas of study - for example the arts, engineering, social sciences, computer science, and humanities - you may discover research connections that extend beyond the confines of mathematics and science. You might explore the intersection of game design and medical science, ethics and human enhancement technology, sustainable energy and architecture, and beyond. By combining your own, unique interests, you could create the kind of cross-disciplinary, innovative research that changes lives.
