Northeastern’s comprehensive array of undergraduate and graduate programs— in a variety of on-campus and online formats—lead to degrees through the doctorate in nine colleges and schools. Among these, we offer more than 195 multi-discipline majors and degrees designed to prepare students for purposeful lives and careers.

The Bouvé College of Health Sciences has over 250 faculty members, with approximately 2,000 undergraduate and 2,400 graduate students. It is the leading national model for education and research in the health, psychosocial and biomedical sciences and supports the University’s mission of educating students for a life of fulfillment and accomplishment and creating and translating knowledge to meet global and societal needs.

The School of Nursing (SON) educates nurses across four campuses:
Boston, Burlington, and Fall River, Massachusetts, and Charlotte, North Carolina. SON programs span the BSN, Accelerated BSN (ABSN), DNP, nurse practitioner specialties, and PhD. Grounded in Northeastern’s experiential learning model, the SON prepares practice-ready nurses and nurse leaders through rigorous didactic, laboratory, simulation, and clinical education.
