Northeastern University (NU) is a private research university in Boston, Massachusetts, established in 1898. It is categorized as an R1 institution (Doctoral Universities: Highest Research Activity) by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.[4]
The university offers undergraduate and graduate programs on its main campus in the Fenway-Kenmore, Roxbury, South End, and Back Bay neighborhoods of Boston. The university has satellite campuses in Charlotte, North Carolina; Seattle, Washington; and San Jose, California, that exclusively offer graduate degrees. An additional satellite campus opened in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, in late 2016.[5] The university's enrollment is approximately 18,000 undergraduate students and 8,000 graduate students.[6]


Northeastern features a cooperative education program, more commonly known as "co-op", that integrates classroom study with professional experience and contains over 3,100 partners across all seven continents.[7] The program has been a key part of Northeastern's curriculum of experiential learning for more than a hundred years and is one of the largest co-op/internship programs in the world. While it is not required for students to participate in the co-op program, generally the program is a vital experience for Northeastern students and has helped distinguish the university from other universities in the academic world. Also, Northeastern is currently ranked 1st on the "Best Schools for Internships" list by the Princeton Review and has consistently ranked in the top five for over a decade.[8] In addition to the co-op program, Northeastern has a comprehensive study abroad program that spans more than 170 universities and colleges.[9] Further, Northeastern recently purchased the New College of the Humanities in London where class sizes for lectures and seminars are small, and faculty tutor students one-on-one. With an interdisciplinary and innovative approach, both schools in collaboration will create unmatched opportunities for learners on both sides of the Atlantic and around the world.


Northeastern is a large, highly residential university. Most students choose to live on campus but upperclassmen have the option to live off campus. More than 75% of Northeastern students receive some form of financial aid. In the 2017–18 school year, the university offered $266.58 million in grant and scholarship assistance.[10]


The university's sports teams, the Northeastern Huskies, compete in NCAA Division I as members of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) in 18 varsity sports. The men's and women's hockey teams compete in Hockey East, while the men's and women's rowing teams compete in the Eastern Association of Rowing Colleges (EARC) and Eastern Association of Women's Rowing Colleges (EAWRC), respectively.[11] Men's Track and Field has won the CAA back to back years in 2015 and 2016. In 2013, men's basketball won its first CAA regular season championship, men's soccer won the CAA title for the first time, and women's ice hockey won a record 16th Beanpot championship.[12] The Northeastern men's hockey team won the 2018 and 2019 Beanpot beating out Boston University, Boston College, and Harvard.[13]

History




The Huntington Avenue YMCA circa 1920, site of the Evening Institute for Younger Men.


The Evening Institute for Younger Men, located at the Huntington Avenue YMCA, held its first class on October 3, 1898, starting what would transform into Northeastern University over the course of four decades. The School of Law was formally established that year with the assistance of an Advisory Committee, consisting of Dean James Barr Ames of the Harvard University School of Law, Dean Samuel Bennett of the Boston University School of Law, and Judge James R. Dunbar. In 1903, the first Automobile Engineering School in the country was established followed by the School of Commerce and Finance in 1907. Day classes began in 1909. In 1916, a bill was introduced into the Massachusetts Legislature to incorporate the institute as Northeastern College. After considerable debate and investigation it was passed in March 1916.[14]


On March 30, 1917, Frank Palmer Speare was inaugurated as the new College's first President. Five years later the school changed its name to Northeastern University to better reflect the increasing depth of its instruction.[15] In March 1923, the University secured general degree-granting power from the Legislature, with the exception of the A.B., the S.B.,[clarification needed] and the medical degrees.[citation needed]


The College of Liberal Arts was added in 1935. Two years later the Northeastern University Corporation was established, with a board of trustees composed of 31 University members and 8 from the YMCA. In 1948 Northeastern separated itself completely from the YMCA.[16]


Following World War II Northeastern began admitting women. During the postwar educational boom, the University created the College of Education (1953), University College (now called the College of Professional Studies) (1960),[17] and the Colleges of Pharmacy and Nursing (1964) (later combined into the Bouvé College of Health Sciences). The College of Criminal Justice (1967) followed, then the College of Computer Science (1982) (since renamed the College of Computer and Information Science).[citation needed]


By the early 1980s the one-time night commuter school had grown to nearly 50,000 enrollees including all full- and part-time programs at both the undergraduate and graduate level. By 1989–1990 University enrollment had reduced to about 40,000 full, part-time, and evening students, and in 1990 the first class with more live-on-campus than commuter students was graduated. Following the retirement of President Kenneth Ryder 1989, the University adopted a slow and more thoughtful approach to change. Historically, it had been accepting between 7,500 and 10,000 students per year based on applications of about 15,000 to 20,000 with acceptance rates between 50% and 75% depending on the program. Attrition rates were huge, with a 25% freshmen dropout rate and graduation rate below 50%, with only 40% of 5,672 undergraduate full-time day students enrolled in the Fall of 1984 graduating by 1989.[citation needed]


When President John Curry left office in 1996 the university population had been systematically reduced to about 25,000. Incoming President Richard Freeland decided to focus on recruiting the type of students who were already graduating as the school's prime demographic.[citation needed] In the early 1990s, the university cut its freshman class size from around 4,500 students to 2,800 in order to become more selective and began a $485 million construction program that included residence halls, academic and research facilities, and athletic centers. Between 1996 and 2006 average SAT scores increased more than 200 points, retention rates rose dramatically, and applications doubled.[citation needed]

During the University's transition, students experienced a reorganization of the co-operative education system to better integrate classroom learning with workplace experience.[citation needed] Full-time degree programs shifted from a four-quarter system to two traditional semesters and two summer "minimesters", allowing students to both delve more deeply into their academic courses and experience longer, more substantive co-op placements.[citation needed]


Throughout the transformation, President Freeland's oft-repeated goal was to crack the Top 100 of the U.S. News & World Report's rankings.[18] With this accomplished by 2005 the transformation from commuting school to national research university was complete. Freeland stepped down on August 15, 2006 and was replaced by Dr. Joseph Aoun, a former dean at the University of Southern California.[19] Aoun implemented a decentralized management model, giving university deans more control over their budgets, faculty hiring decisions, and fundraising.[citation needed]

As part of a five-year, $75 million Academic Investment Plan that ran from 2004 and 2009[20] the University concentrated on undergraduate education, core graduate professional programs, and centers of research excellence. Faculty was originally to be bolstered by 100 new tenured and tenure-track professors, later expanded to include 300 additional tenure and tenure-track faculty in interdisciplinary fields. Aoun also placed more emphasis on improving community relations by reaching out to leaders of the neighborhoods surrounding the university.[21] In addition, Aoun has created more academic partnerships with other institutions in the Boston area, including Tufts, Hebrew College and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts.[citation needed]


During this time, Northeastern has advanced in national rankings. It placed 42nd in the 2014–2015 U.S. News & World Report's "Best Colleges Guide",[22] a 7 position jump from 2013–2014 and a 27 place gain just since 2010–2011. Some have argued that Northeastern's recent rise in the rankings shows that the university has "cracked the code" to academic rankings, while others have suggested that it has figured out how to "game the system".[23][24] The 2018 edition of U.S. News & World Report ranked Northeastern 40th in its annual ranking of National Universities.[citation needed]


Whether the rise of Northeastern's ranking was the result of an effort to game the system or not, most would agree that the institution's continual improvements in its placement in U.S. News & World Report's "Best Colleges Guide" allowed the university to improve rapidly via a significantly larger endowment and a more competitive student body. This explains why it was able to surpass other local universities in rankings such as Simmons College and Wentworth Institute of Technology (which were started around the same time). It can also be said that Northeastern's ranking improvements had a cyclical effect where the improved rankings gave the university access to more resources which in turn allowed them to further improve the quality of the university and therefore their rankings. Regardless, it's objectively evident that the quality of the university has skyrocketed within the last twenty or so years as a result of the introduction of new academic programs, far more competitive applicants, new buildings, a larger endowment, alumni donations, new satellite campuses, and the expansion of their flagship Co-op program.[citation needed]


In November 2018, Northeastern University announced their intention to acquire the New College of the Humanities, a 210 student London-based college founded in 2012 by the philosopher A. C. Grayling. The deal is pending regulatory approval.[25]

Satellite campuses


In addition to Northeastern's main Boston campus, the university operates a number of satellite undergraduate locations in Massachusetts, including the George J. Kostas Research Institute in Burlington, a Financial District campus in the Hilton Hotel near Faneuil Hall in downtown Boston, a Dedham Campus in Dedham, and a Marine Science Center in Nahant.[26] The Kostas Research Institute for Homeland Security which opened in 2011 in addition to the Laboratory for Structural Testing of Resilient and Sustainable Systems (STReSS Laboratory). The laboratory is "equipped to test full-scale and large-scale structural systems and materials to failure so as to explore the development of new strategies for designing, simulating, and sensing structural and infrastructure systems".[27]


The University has also launched a number of full-service remote graduate campuses in North America, including in Charlotte, North Carolina, in October 2011, Seattle, Washington, in January 2013, San Jose, California, in March 2015, and Toronto, Ontario, in 2016.[28][29] Additional satellite campuses in Austin, Texas, and Minneapolis, Minnesota, are planned.[30]

Northeastern's 2018 acceptance rate was 19%.[39] For the Class of 2022, Northeastern received 62,268 applications, over 8,000 more than the previous year, with 11,780 students accepted.[40] The record number of applications led to a drop in acceptance rate, eight percentage points lower than the previous year. Additionally, Northeastern was in the top ten most applied to college in 2018.[40] For the Class of 2021 (enrolling fall 2017), Northeastern received 54,209 applications (which was also more than in any previous year at the time[41]), accepted 14,876 (27%), and enrolled 3,108. The applicants for Northeastern have been steadily increasing from 49,822 in 2014, to the 54,209 applicants for the 2017 year. Of those who applied in 2016, 9,500 were international students, up from 1,128 international applicants in 2006.[42] Of those who enrolled, 20% were international students. In the Power of International Education's 2017 Open Doors report, Northeastern was ranked as the fourth highest institution in the United States to host international students.[43] For the freshmen who enrolled, the middle 50% range of SAT scores was 660-740 for critical reading, 710-780 for math and 690-760 for writing, while the ACT Composite range was 31–34.[44][42]
For the class enrolling fall 2013, Forbes placed Northeastern 35th in "The Top 100 Colleges Ranked By SAT Scores".[45] Of those who were enrolled, 76% were in top tenth of high school graduating class with 94% in top quarter of high school graduating class.[46] Of the freshman who are not international students, 76% are from out of state.[46]


When it comes to both undergraduate and graduate students, the number of International students totals over 13,000 representing 147 different nations and over half of the student body. This is due to the fact that the vast majority of graduate students come from abroad. The number of international students at Northeastern has steadily increased by about 1,000 students every year since 2008.[47]



Rankings


In the 2019 edition of U.S. News & World Report rankings, Northeastern was tied for 44th in the National Universities category. In 2018, Northeastern tied for 40th in the National Universities category and ranked 228th in the Global Universities category. (U.S. News & World Report) (2018). For 2017, Northeastern was ranked in the Top 30 Colleges with the Highest Average SAT and ACT Scores for admitted students (22nd for ACT and 27th for SAT).[48][49]

Founded in 2009, IDEA is Northeastern University's student-led Venture Accelerator, which provides entrepreneurs, including students, faculty, and alumni in the Northeastern community with the necessary support and educational experience towards developing a business from core concept to launch. Academics at Northeastern is grounded in a liberal arts education and the integration of classroom studies with experiential learning opportunities, including cooperative education, student research, service learning, and global experience, including study abroad and international co-op. The university's cooperative education program places about 5,000 students annually with more than 3,000 co-op employers in Boston, across the United States, and around the globe. In 2014, College Prowler gave Northeastern an "A+" rating for the quality of classes, professors, and overall academic environment.[61]

Student organizations


List of Northeastern University student organizations



Honors Program


The University Honors Program offers selected students an enhanced curriculum. These students are selected from the regular applicant pool with no separate application and represent the applicants with the highest GPA and SAT/ACT scores that year. Starting with the First Year Reading Project and moving on to participating in a wide range of courses during the undergraduate years, the program gives students a variety of academic choices. The culminating experience is advanced specialty work in a major field through college-specific choices including specialized advanced honors seminars and an independent research project.[64] In addition, students in the Honors Program exclusively can live in a Living-Learning Community housed in West Villages C[65] and F. In Fall 2009, the university began housing first-year Honors students in the lower nine floors of the newly constructed International Village residence hall. Starting in Fall 2017, these students are housed in the lower floors of the even newer 17 story East Village residence hall. 2017 also marked the beginning of the Honors Discovery course and the introduction of the Student Assessed Integrated Learning (SAIL) app.[citation needed]



Co-op/internship program


Northeastern has one of the largest co-op/internship programs in the world.[66] Started in 1909, NU's co-op program is one of the oldest in the nation. In the co-op program, students alternate periods of academic study with periods of professional employment (usually paid) related to their major. Most majors offer a four-year graduation option with fewer co-op placements, but the five-year program is slightly more popular with students. Students on co-op do not pay tuition and students not living on campus do not pay room and board. The co-op program typically begins the spring of the second year or fall of the third year (after a more traditional program for the first semesters on campus). Students usually take anywhere between one and three with 96% participating in one and 78% participating in two or more.[67]


Co-op placements range from small start-up companies to large multinational companies, including many Fortune 500 corporations. The program also places students with government agencies, branches of government, nonprofits, and non-governmental organizations. Northeastern students can be found interning in the United States Congress, the White House, United Nations, and at NASA. Student placements usually last six months, and are mostly paid. Students may live in the university residence halls on campus during co-op employment, and the university currently leases housing for students co-oping in New York City, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, D.C. and assists elsewhere.[citation needed]


Northeastern co-op students staying in Boston usually benefit from the fact that the city's most prominent industries have numerous offices/headquarters there. Boston's most consequential industries such as its financial sector, technology sector, and medicine/life sciences sector tend to hire many co-ops in these fields especially to big-name companies. When it comes to D'amore-Mckim Business students, many co-ops end up working for large financial firms such as State Street and John Hancock Financial. Accounting firms such as PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and Deloitte & Touche as well as consulting firms such as Boston Consulting Group tend to hire many co-ops every cycle as well. Retail companies like TJX Companies and Reebok International tend to hire several marketing students every cycle.[citation needed]


Some students also decide to develop their own co-ops if they wish to do something that is no offered. This usually involves starting a new company or reaching out to a company Northeastern does not have a partnership with and facilitating the creation of a co-op partnership. Many companies continually pass down their co-op opportunities to Northeastern students so these new partnerships are documented in Northeastern's co-op database, known as NUCareers, to be given to future Northeastern students. Students that decide to start their own companies are usually involved with IDEA, Northeastern's Venture Accelerator, and will sometimes spend their entire two or three co-ops solely developing their companies. They might also join the Husky Startup Challenge which also helps develop student-run companies. If a company is successful in either IDEA, the Husky Startup Challenge or both, they tend to move onto MassChallenge in Boston which is a huge global non-profit startup accelerator and competition.[citation needed]


All Northeastern students take at least one class which prepares them for their co-op and the expectations of a given industry. Some schools like D'amore-Mckim have students take three different one-credit classes to prepare them for their co-op. During these classes, students work with advisers inside and outside of class to pursue potential co-ops as well as work on strategies to make themselves more competitive against other candidates.[citation needed]


The co-op program has led to the university's high reputation when it comes to job placement. 50% of Northeastern students receive a job offer from a previous co-op employer as of 2017[update].[7] 92% were either employed or enrolled in graduate school 9 months after graduation.[68] This has also led Northeastern to consistently rank within the top 5 in the Princeton Review's list for "Best Career Services/Internships" within the last decade, mainly taking the top spot. The list split into "Best Career Services" and "Best Internships" in 2016 and Northeastern currently ranks 3rd for career services and 1st for internships in the United States.[citation needed]



Senior Capstone


The Senior Capstone is an advanced-level course related to the student's major. The course requires the student to integrate what they have learned through their academic coursework and their experiential learning experience (co-op, research, study abroad, and service).[69][70][71][72]



Pre-med program


The university partnered with Tufts University School of Medicine to create an early-acceptance BA/MD Program.[73] This program has been since discontinued. Northeastern's campus is just a few blocks from the Longwood Medical and Academic Area where Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Dental Medicine are located along with their associated teaching hospitals. These institutions provide NU pre-med students with significant internship opportunities.[citation needed]



Study abroad


Northeastern has semester-long study abroad programs with placements in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and South America. Some participating schools include: University of Cambridge and London School of Economics, England; University of Edinburgh, Scotland; Reims Management School, France; European School of Business, Germany; University of Cape Town, South Africa; University of Auckland, New Zealand; Swinburne University of Technology, Australia; Obirin University, Japan; American College of Thessaloniki, Greece and Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Chile and also Antarctica.[74]


Northeastern's International Business program is a member of the International Partnership of Business Schools. Through this program International Business students have the opportunity to be awarded a dual-degree from Northeastern as well as from a sister school abroad.[citation needed]


Since the arrival of President Aoun in 2006, the school has also been emphasizing co-op abroad, in an effort to make the school more global and internationally engaged. There are many programs being offered including social entrepreneurship in the Dominican Republic, Belize, and South Africa.[citation needed]



Dialogues of Civilizations


Northeastern also has the notable Dialogues of Civilizations program, which features dozens of one-month-long programs (usually taking place in the summer) where a faculty member will teach a group of students in a foreign country related to the curriculum of a specific class. A sort of "mini" study abroad, each program has an area of focus – for example, the Geneva program focuses on small arms and multilateral negotiations while the South Africa program is based in non-governmental organizations. This program is meant to be a communicative experience and an exchange of ideas and cultures. It is open to all majors and all years, and is the most popular study abroad option at Northeastern.[citation needed]


The program is used by some Northeastern students to gain extra credits for a minor or concentration and can also be used by students trying to graduate in 4 years while also participating in one or more co-ops. The program will sometimes take place in multiple locations. Entrepreneurship and Global Consulting in Israel is a dialogue that starts in Boston and eventually has students go to Tel-Aviv and Beer Sheva, Israel.[75] Some dialogues span multiple countries with one being taught in Marrakesh, Morocco, then in Amsterdam and concluding in Paris.[76]



N.U.in


In addition to the Dialogues of Civilizations program, Northeastern also offers a program called "N.U.in", primarily for first-year students who choose to start their first semester studying abroad. This program accepts students into the university but has them spend their first semester studying at a foreign university partnered with Northeastern. Students take classes in English and these credits transfer over to Northeastern when they arrive on campus in the spring. The program began in 2007 with the creation of N.U.in Australia and only had the option for students to go abroad during their fall semester (before coming to the home campus in Boston). Now, students of any year can go on N.U.in during a fall or spring semester (however, the majority of those who complete the program, complete it their fall of freshman year). In 2008, Greece and England were added as options for N.U.in.[citation needed]


Since the early 2010s, the program has started accepting students to the university, then selecting students to admit to the N.U.in program. The idea behind this is to bring students with more diverse experiences back to the Boston campus by presenting students motivated by travel with the opportunity to immediately study abroad. It is also used to introduce students, professors, and communities across the globe to Northeastern students which could help with the university's global presence. Northeastern's goals for global expansion are outlined in their Northeastern 2025 campaign stating "Northeastern 2025 will build on the university's network of campuses around the world to create intercultural hubs for lifelong experiential learning: expanded study-abroad programs, international co-op opportunities, international dialogues, and coursework embedded with employer partners."[77]


By 2012, 500 students enrolled in the N.U.in program which at the time offered the destinations of London, Dublin, Thessaloniki (Greece), Sydney, and San José (Costa Rica). By 2017 that number grew to 1,100 students and the program had expanded to Shanghai, Rome, Berlin, Montreal, Melbourne, and removed San José as an N.U.in destination. Students in the N.U.in program study on some of the top college campuses around the world like McGill University for N.U.in Canada students and the University of Sydney for N.U.in Australia students. For some locations including N.U.in Australia, N.U.in England, and N.U.in Ireland, Northeastern is partnered with two universities to give students more options of where they would like to study. As of 2019, N.U.in locations include Australia, Canada, England, Greece, Ireland, and Italy.[78]

The university provides undergraduate students with an opportunity to engage in research through the Center for Experiential Education,[91] CenSSIS Research Experience for Undergraduates,[92] Honors Research, Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation program,[93] and Provost's Office research grants.[94] In FY 2007, annual external research funding exceeded $78 million.[95] In FY 2009–2010, the research funding is close to $82 million.[96] In 2002, Northeastern's Center for Subsurface Sensing and Imaging Systems was designated an NSF Engineering Research Center. In 2004, Northeastern was one of six institutions selected by the National Science Foundation as a center for research in nanotechnology. In 2010, Northeastern was granted $12 million by an alum for a Homeland security research facility,[97] to be named the George J. Kostas Research Institute for Homeland Security, after its chief benefactor.[97]



Faculty



Northeastern had 1,257 full-time faculty, 94.4% of whom possess a doctorate or the terminal degree in their field, and 403 part-time faculty in Fall 2015.[2] Northeastern faculty members direct more than 35 research and education centers, including a National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Research Center, an NSF Nanomanufacturing Center, and two NSF Integrated Graduate Education and Research Traineeship programs.[citation needed]



Accreditation


Northeastern University is accredited by New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC)[98]



Empower Campaign


The Empower Campaign was launched in May 2013. Its goal was to raise $1 billion by 2017 with $500 million of that being from philanthropic support and $500 million being from industry and government partnerships. The goal was raised to $1.25 billion in 2015. The campaign was inspired by Richard D'Amore and Alan McKim's $60 million donation to the university's business school in 2012.[citation needed]


The money was raised for student support (co-ops, study abroad, student research, student ventures), financial aid, faculty advancement/expansion, innovation in education (further development of the co-op program), and research.[99]


In October 2017, Northeastern revealed that the final total of the Empower campaign was $1.4 billion. More than 100,000 individuals and over 3,800 organizations donated to Empower. These donors came from 110 different nations across the globe. The university was able to surpass its goal twice and surpassed the goal set in 2015 by $150 million.[100]



Student activities



Northeastern has over 19 varsity teams in the NCAA, over 30 club sports teams, and over 200 student organizations. Several prominent student-run organizations, including the Resident Student Association (RSA), Student Government Association (SGA), Northeastern University Television (NUTV), Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL), and the Council for University Programs (CUP) organize activities for Northeastern students as well as the surrounding community.[citation needed]



Athletics






Northeastern Huskies logo


Fourteen of eighteen Northeastern varsity sports teams have been competing in NCAA Division I's Colonial Athletic Association, since 2005.[101]


The school sponsors the following sports teams:[101]


  • (M) Baseball

  • (M), (W) Basketball

  • (M), (W) Cross Country

  • (W) Field Hockey

  • (M), (W) Hockey (in Hockey East)

  • (M), (W) Soccer

  • (W) Swimming & Diving

  • (M), (W) Track and Field

  • (W) Volleyball

The NU mascot is Paws. The school colors are red and black with white trim. The fight song, "All Hail, Northeastern", was composed by Charles A. Pethybridge, Class of 1932.[citation needed]


Some notable athletes have played for Northeastern's sports teams. Dan Ross played football at Northeastern long before setting the Super Bowl record for receptions in a game. Reggie Lewis still holds the men's basketball career scoring record. Jose Barea played point guard for the Huskies and averaged 21 points, 4.4 rebounds, 8.4 assists per game as a senior. Barea was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks in 2006. Carlos Peña was named Major League Baseball's American League Comeback Player of the Year in 2007 and an AL Gold Glove winner in 2008. The U.S. Olympic women's ice hockey teams have included Northeastern alumni Shelley Looney and Chanda Gunn.[citation needed]


The baseball team has competed in one College World Series and played in the NCAA regionals seven times.[101]


In its first year in the CAA, the men's basketball team finished in 6th place (out of 12 teams) and advanced to the semifinals of the conference tournament. The CAA proved to be a competitive conference in the 2006 NCAA Basketball Tournament, as George Mason University advanced all the way to the Final Four. In 2007, its second year in the CAA, the women's track team captured the conference championship, while the volleyball team finished second. The women's basketball team won 10 more games in 2008 than the previous year, the biggest one-year turnaround in the CAA, and advanced to the tournament quarterfinals.[citation needed]


Northeastern's men's and women's hockey teams compete in the Hockey East Conference. During the 2007–2008 season, the men's team ranked as high at #7 in the country and held the top spot in the conference before finishing the season in sixth place in Hockey East. Both teams also participate in the annual Beanpot tournament between the four major Boston-area colleges. Northeastern's men's team has won the annual event 4 times in its 54-year history, while the women's team has captured the Beanpot 14 times. During the 2008–2009 season, the men's team ranked as high as 3rd in the nation and held the top spot in Hockey East until the last weekend of the season; the team made the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1994, the Beanpot championship game for the first time since 2004, and goalie Brad Thiessen made the Hobey Hat Trick, only the second Northeastern player to do so. Northeastern won the 2018 Beanpot championship by defeating Boston College 3-0 in the first match and defeating Boston University 5-2 in the final match. The victory came after Northeastern attained the highest placement in the 2017-2018 standings of the Beanpot competitors. The Beanpot also presents two awards to individual players. One is for the most valuable player and one is to the best goalie (determined by best save percentage). The second award is named the Eberly award after Glen and Dan Eberly who were goalies at Northeastern and Boston University. In addition to winning the Beanpot title, Northeastern took home both awards with the award for most valuable player being presented to Adam Gaudette and the Eberly Award being presented to Cayden Primeau who had a save percentage of .974 (making him the goalie with second highest save percentage to win the award in the 44 years the award has been given).[102]


The Northeastern Crew team consistently ranks as one of the top 10 teams in the nation.[103] In the 2008 National Championship, the team made the Grand Finals and placed fourth behind University of Wisconsin–Madison, University of Washington, and University of California, Berkeley, while beating Brown University, Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University.[104]


Northeastern offers 40 club sports, including sailing, judo, rugby, lacrosse, alpine skiing, squash, cycling and ultimate frisbee. In 2005 the women's rugby team finished third in the nation in Division II, while in the same year the men's rugby team won the largest annual tournament in the United States. Recently, the women's rugby team competed and placed 11th at the Collegiate Rugby Championship. The men's lacrosse team began the 2008 season ranked in the Top 10 nationally. The men's and women's squash team finished the 2008 season ranked in the Top 20 nationally. In the 2008–2009 academic year the Northeastern Club Field Hockey and Women's Basketball teams won their respective National Championships. From 2007 to 2009, the Northeastern Club Baseball team won three straight New England Club Baseball Association championships.[105]


On May 25, 2010, the club baseball team defeated Penn State to win the National Club Baseball Association Division II World Series and the national championship.[106]


Citing sparse attendance, numerous losing seasons and the expense to renovate Parsons Field to an acceptable standard, the university Board of Trustees voted on November 20, 2009, to end the football program. According to president Joseph Aoun: "Leadership requires that we make these choices. This decision allows us to focus on our existing athletic programs."[107]



Campus


Northeastern is located in Boston's Fenway, Roxbury and Back Bay neighborhoods adjacent to Huntington Avenue near the Museum of Fine Arts and Symphony Hall. The area is also known as the Fenway Cultural District.[108]


Although located in the heart of Boston, the NU campus is still filled with trees, flowers, and grassy quads. Since the late 1990s, Northeastern has been considered a model of design for urban universities and has twice won the "most beautiful new or renovated exterior space" award (presented by the American Institute of Architects) in 2001 and 2004.[109] The site of the first baseball World Series is commemorated, in front of the university's Churchill Hall, by a statue of Cy Young.[citation needed]



Sustainability


The most recent Sustainable Endowments Institute's College Sustainability Report Card issued Northeastern a grade of "A-" for its environmental sustainability efforts and programs.[110] Additionally, the Princeton Review rated Northeastern as one of the top 15 "Green Colleges" in the nation in 2010.[111] In 2011, the GreenMetric World University ranking evaluated Northeastern as the second greenest university in the world, and first in the US.[112]


In accordance with a Boston zoning code amendment in 2007,[113] the International Village residence hall was certified as a LEED Gold building in 2010.[114] Dockser Hall was the first building on campus to achieve LEED certification, also Gold, with the completion of its renovation in 2010.[115]



Public safety


The Northeastern University Police Department (NUPD) is a full-service law enforcement agency with full powers of arrest on university property or property used by Northeastern students and faculty. The campus is adjacent to the Boston Police Department's Headquarters. A 2008 Reader's Digest survey ranked NU as the second safest school in the United States after Johns Hopkins University in Maryland.[116][117]



Public transportation


Northeastern is bracketed by the MBTA's Orange Line and Green Line "E" Branch. Six stations serve the campus: Massachusetts Avenue and Ruggles on the Orange Line; and Symphony, Northeastern, Museum of Fine Arts, and Longwood Medical Area on the Green Line. The Green Line is paralleled by the #39 bus. Ruggles also serves the Needham, Providence/Stoughton, and Franklin Lines of the MBTA Commuter Rail system.



Campus development background


Northeastern's campus is mostly located along Huntington Avenue in an area known as the "Fenway Cultural District" which is part of Boston's Fenway and Back Bay neighborhoods. Other notable institutions in the district include: the Museum of Fine Arts, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Symphony Hall, the Huntington Theatre Company, New England Conservatory, Boston Conservatory, Berklee College of Music, Christian Science Center, Mary Baker Eddy Library, and Harvard School of Public Health.[citation needed]


Northeastern's campus is something of an urban oddity; despite its location in central Boston, Northeastern is home to a significant amount of green open space and quads.[118]


A site master planning competition awarded a contract to revive and rejuvenate the campus; the process was started in 1988 with the creation of the new Northeastern Quad and Mt Ryder. A small oval of land centrally located at the campus main entrance was refurbished by the donations of the graduating class of 1989.[citation needed]


What was once a concrete square, outside of the library and student center, was transformed with brick pavers and granite curbstones, in a scalloped design that would eliminate all square corners, a concept developed by the outgoing class of 1989 in a "Northeastern News" poll and suggestion to the President Box that was presented to the board of Trustees in March 1988. The "No Corners" campaign kicked off with a fundraiser at the Ell Student Center on Parents weekend in October 1988. The later selection of a nationally recognized green space landscape architect[who?]in 1990 started a renewal plan that continues today. Since the late 1990s Northeastern has twice won the "most beautiful new or renovated exterior space" award presented by the American Institute of Architects in 2001 and again in 2004. In 2008, West Village Building F was recognized in American Institute of Architects New England 2008 Merit Awards for Design Excellence.[119]


In 2004, Northeastern was awarded the prestigious gold medal by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society for its Dedham Campus.[120]



Notable Buildings



Residential Halls


Residential halls at Northeastern vary quite significantly with buildings like Kennedy Hall and 153 Hemenway Street being former Boston apartment buildings that were bought out by Northeastern and turned into residential halls while International Village and East Village are tall high-rise buildings built specifically for the purpose of housing Northeastern students. Residential halls can host as little as 50 students or as many as 1,000. The traditional dorms include one room that can be a single, a double, a triple, or a quad depending on how many students reside there. Suites usually contain a bathroom and a shared common area between multiple rooms.[citation needed]


All residential buildings have traditional housing but the following list divides the ones that contain only traditional and the ones that have suite-style housing.

Building H was originally reserved for honors student, but that rule was dropped.


  • Building F (opened 2006): Residence Hall for upper-class students, classrooms, John D. O'Bryant African-American Institute, Admissions Visitors Center.

The plans for Building K, a 22-story high rise housing 600 beds, have been completed and will be rented to the university until they are able to buy it.[122]



Matthews Arena






Matthews Arena, home to the school's basketball and hockey teams


Opened in 1910 and widely known as the Boston Arena, Matthews Arena is the world's oldest surviving indoor ice hockey arena.[123] Located on the east edge of Northeastern University's campus, it is home to the Northeastern Huskies men's and women's hockey teams, and men's basketball team as well as the Wentworth Institute of Technology's men's hockey team. The arena is named after former Chair of the Board of Trustees George J. Matthews and his wife, the late Hope M. Matthews. The arena is the original home of the NHL Boston Bruins and the WHA New England Whalers (now the NHL Carolina Hurricanes). It was also the secondary home to the NBA Boston Celtics in the 1940s. It has hosted all or part of the America East Conference men's basketball tournament a total of seven times and hosted the 1960 Frozen Four. The arena also served as the original home to the annual Beanpot tournament between Boston's four major college hockey programs.[citation needed]



Marino Recreation Center


Named after Roger Marino, co-founder of EMC Corporation, the Marino Center features on its first floor an atrium with two cafés (Tatte and b.good) and a food market (Wollaston's). The second floor includes a student exercise area, a multipurpose room is used for aerobics classes and martial arts clubs. The gymnasium consists of three basketball courts. On the third floor, a state-of-the-art resistance training area and a fully equipped free weight room. A three-lane suspended track is available for either walking or jogging, and rowing ergometers are available.[citation needed]



Centennial Common


Centennial Common was created to mark the 100th anniversary of the University in 1998. It also serves as a gateway to the West Campus. The area is a big grass circle that spans a few hundred feet and contains lawnchairs for students to relax on as well as a flagpole that displays the U.S. flag. The area is frequently used by students for recreational purposes or organizations/clubs who have booths.[citation needed]



Library facilities


The NU Libraries include the Snell Library and the John D. O'Bryant African-American Institute Library. The NU School of Law Library is separately administered by the NU School of Law.[citation needed]


Snell Library opened in 1990 at a cost of $35 million and contains 1.3 million volumes. The Digital Media Design Studio within the library is a collaborative and interdisciplinary learning environment for creating course-related multimedia presentations, projects, and portfolios. The library is home to the Favat Collection, a current collection of children's literature and K-12 curriculum resources, instructional materials, and related information to support courses offered by the School of Education. It contains three computer labs operated by NU Information Services. Two are available to all NU students, faculty, and staff; the other is a teaching lab. In June 2016 the library staff adopted an open-access policy to make its members' professional research publicly accessible online.[124]


The NU Libraries received federal depository designation in 1962. As a selective depository, the Libraries receive forty-five percent of the federal publication series available to depository libraries.[citation needed]


The Snell Library is also home to the Northeastern University Archives and Special Collections department, which includes the Benjamin LaGuer papers collection. The Special Collections focus on records of Boston-area community-based organizations that are concerned with social justice issues.[125]


Snell Library is also open 24 hours a day, allowing students to study at any given time.[126]



Spiritual Life Center and Sacred Space


Within the urban environment that characterizes the campus as a whole, NU has carved out a quiet, peaceful space in the centrally located Ell Building for the Spiritual Life Center's Sacred Space. The nondenominational Sacred Space, the Center's main assembly hall, can be configured with carpets, mats or chairs. It has a distinctive ceiling consisting of 3 hanging domes made of overlapping aluminum tiles with an origami-like effect, warm wood floors and accents, and glass-paneled walls that lean outward slightly, their shape and material giving a sense of openness and volume to the space. Faucets for ablution are available in a flanking antechamber, and the Center also contains a smaller meeting space and library.[127] The Sacred Space opened in 1998. The architects Office dA (Nader Tehrani & Monica Ponce de Leon) received the 2002 Harleston Parker Medal from the Boston Society of Architects for the design.[citation needed]



South Campus (Columbus Avenue)


Northeastern University's southernmost section of campus is located along Columbus Avenue in Roxbury, parallel to the Orange line. The University expanded south into Roxbury at the same time as they were building West Village. In 2001, Davenport Commons was opened, providing 585 students housing in two residence halls while 75 families representing a range of incomes have been able to purchase a condo or townhouse at or below Boston's market value. Davenport Commons also created commercial space on Tremont Street.[128]


During the summer of 2006, Northeastern University proposed a new residence hall further away from the main campus, at the corner of Tremont Street and Ruggles Street. Construction began in late February 2007. In the Spring of 2009, The complex was named International Village and opened later that Summer. Its nicknames include "IV" and "INV". It consists of three interconnected residence halls, an office complex, administration building, and a gym.[129] A 400-seat dining hall is available to all members of the Northeastern community as well as the public.[citation needed]


The following buildings make up the South Campus:







Interdisciplinary Science & Engineering Complex



On February 21, 2014, Northeastern University had its groundbreaking ceremony for the new Interdisciplinary Science & Engineering Complex (ISEC) on Columbus Avenue.[130] Completed in 2017, the 220,000-square-foot (20,000 m2) building provides research and educational space for students and faculty from the College of Science, Bouvé College of Health Sciences, College of Engineering, and College of Computer and Information Science. The centerpiece of the complex includes a large atrium, a spiral staircase, and a 280-seat auditorium.[131]



Dodge Hall


Dodge Hall is mainly used for Northeastern's business programs. Before Snell Library opened in 1990, it served as the university's main library. Dodge Hall has five floors. The basement houses a computer lab and is connected to the university's large network of underground tunnels which connects many buildings.[citation needed]


Classrooms and a lounge area occupy the first floor. The D'Amore-McKim School of Business undergraduate office is on the second floor, and the graduate[132] office is on the third floor. The School of Professional Accounting office is on the fourth floor.[citation needed]


Directly behind Dodge Hall is the YMCA where Northeastern was founded.[citation needed]



Ell Hall

Ell Hall is one of the oldest buildings on campus and hosts Northeastern's largest auditorium, Blackman Auditorium. Blackman hosts many different types of events for classes, theatre groups, dance teams, musical groups, choral groups, fraternities, sororities, and orchestral ensembles. Blackman has hosted many talented individuals from Dr. Maya Angelou to Seth Meyers.[133] Like Dodge Hall, Ell Hall has five floors and also connects to the underground tunnel network. The building also contains classrooms and an art gallery.[citation needed]
