Academic Investment
Plan
At Northeastern University, we are investing $75
million over the next five years to enhance our academic programs
in three key areas: undergraduate education, core graduate professional
programs, and centers of research excellence.
Faculty Recruitment
The cornerstone of our Academic Investment Plan is the expansion
of our faculty by 100 tenured and tenure-track professors over the
next five years. To sustain the highest level of educational quality,
we are adding faculty in areas of rapid growth, including communications,
architecture, international business, pharmacy practice and multimedia
studies, and seeking outstanding candidates to join our nationally
recognized faculty in business, engineering, computer science, health
sciences, and counseling psychology.

Undergraduate Education
Our top priority is ensuring the excellence of undergraduate education.
We are the national leader in programs that link classroom study
with real-world experience, and our flagship cooperative education
program is a national model. The result: outstanding students from
all over the country and world are coming to Northeastern in increasing
numbers. Plus, we are investing in our technological infrastructure
and library, enriching our honors programs, and adding advising
and support staff.
Centers of Research Excellence
High quality research is a hallmark of any major university, and
the 100 new professors joining our faculty will advance research
efforts in many disciplines. Building on existing areas of faculty
strength, we are fostering scholarly excellence in four fields of
technological, economic and social significance: biotechnology,
nanotechnology, sensing and imaging, and urban affairs and public
policy.
Graduate Professional Programs
A graduate education is increasingly essential for success in many
fields as well as a prerequisite for an academic career. Our goal
is to reinforce our position as a leader in professional education
by enhancing core graduate programs in Business, Engineering, Computer
Science, Pharmacy Practice, and Counseling Psychology. We are also
focused on expanding our doctoral programs and have recently added
PhD programs in Criminal Justice, Physical Therapy, and Audiology.
