Northeastern University Global Network
Northeastern University is global nonprot higher education institution, with an R1 Carnegie
Classication and a Top 50 National University ranking from US News & World Report.
Northeastern is internationally renowned for its highly dierentiated experiential education,
lifelong learning and use-inspired research programs. Northeastern is a university unlike any
other: committed to understanding and solving the challenges facing the real world, by fostering
talent and generating the knowledge that will enable a better society.
Northeastern’s programs are deeply aligned with--and intertwined with--the needs and realities
of employers of every type: industry, government, and nonprot. Northeastern’s signature co-op
programs place thousands of students with employers for 6-month work assignments across
3,000 partner organizations. Northeastern’s research activities--focused on health, security and
sustainability--have grown in funding from government and industry alike by over 300% in the last
15 years: an unprecedented trajectory in the recent history of higher education.
Northeastern’s global network of campuses—13 locations in total throughout the United States,
Canada and the UK—serve as portals to all that Northeastern has to oer. Northeastern’s
signature campuses are integrally tied to the economic development goals and initiatives of the
local ecosystem. At every campus location, Northeastern seeks to align its strengths with the
needs of employees, employers, governments, and civic organizations in order for each to realize
their potential through learning and discovery.
History and Governance
Northeastern University, founded 1898 in Boston, Massachusetts, is a private, non-prot global
research university, and a worldwide leader in experiential education. Northeastern University
received degree-granting authority from the Great and General Court of Massachusetts
through a legislative act in 1920 and has maintained its good standing in accreditation from
the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE) since it was rst awarded in 1940.
All Northeastern University programs fall within the university-wide accreditation process,
assessment, and review by the New England Commission of Higher Education.
Northeastern University continuously self-assesses and formally reports every ve years on its
compliance with the nine Standards set forth by NECHE. Northeastern completed its standard
ten year re-accreditation process with NECHE in March 2019. At the heart of the self-study
process were data, documents, and information gathered from across the university. Each of
Northeastern’s academic programs and regional campuses, in addition to the administrative
oces of the university, contribute to representing the institution’s goals and accomplishments
in learning and research. As a result of this comprehensive review process, Northeastern has
received re-accreditation valid through spring 2029.
Statement of Purpose

Northeastern University Mission
Page 5
Miami Campus
Northeastern is a university tightly tethered to the real world. Dened by its connection
to employers—through its co-op program and its commitment to use-inspired research—
Northeastern’s mission is to prepare students and develop solutions to have an impact on the
world’s needs today, and tomorrow. The signature dierentiator Northeastern will bring to the
South Florida ecosystem is the unique opportunity for all learners, in any program, to engage
with real-world employers through experiential learning. Northeastern combines curricular and
cocurricular programs with relevant professional experiences designed to develop students’
broad knowledge, intellectual creativity, and analytical skills. This integrated experiential model
prepares students to be active, impactful participants in our evolving society and economy—
engaged global citizens and leaders, successful professionals, and self-directed lifelong learners.
Northeastern’s educational programs foster formal and informal knowledge-sharing networks
that meet the learning needs of students at every stage throughout their lives.
Northeastern’s signature campuses are integrally tied to the economic development goals and
initiatives of the local ecosystem. At every campus location, Northeastern seeks to align its
strengths with the needs of employees, employers, governments, and civic organizations in order
for each to realize their potential. Building on the models that have successfully deployed across
our global network of campuses, we will enable the creation of pathways into new and promising
careers for our students, citizens of Miami, and those seeking to take part in the emerging
economic opportunities.
