Northeastern takes higher learning to a richer level. Our outstanding professors, an academically challenging curriculum and high-profile research projects infuse the classroom with intellectual curiosity and the spirit of discovery.

As a Northeastern student, you'll work alongside faculty who are pioneers in their fields, share your opinions with classmates, explore new areas of interest and pursue independent or faculty-sponsored research. No matter which field of study you choose, you'll be challenged — and rewarded — by the academic opportunities you encounter.

The School of Professional and Continuing Studies

The Northeastern Master of Science in Leadership is offered by the School of Professional and Continuing Studies (SPCS). SPCS faculty are comprised of full-time university professors pursuing the latest research in their field and industry leaders with the experience of applying knowledge to the problems and issues of their profession. The Northeastern component of the Global Leadership Program will be taught at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne by SPCS professors.

The Faculty Partnership

Northeastern's 1,105 full- and part-time faculty members form an experienced network of mentors and advisers who extend their teaching beyond the lecture hall and faculty office. In fact, the Kaplan/Newsweek College Catalogue includes Northeastern among a group of colleges and universities that offer the most individual academic attention. The partnership between faculty and students takes form in the classroom; in the laboratory, where they collaborate on research; and in the mentoring relationships that develop out of these shared endeavours.

A Campus like No Other

The Chronicle of Higher Education recently named Northeastern's one of the most attractive urban campuses in the world because it has all the elements of a traditional college campus amid a thriving city. But the benefits of this urban oasis extend beyond appearances. Housed in the buildings around campus are some of the finest laboratories in this city known for advanced research facilities; the largest academic library in Boston; and all of the modern conveniences a student could ask for, from Internet access in the residence halls to a university-wide online database system.
