The university's main campus in Boston is located within the center of the city along [[Huntington Avenue]] and [[Columbus Avenue (Boston)|Columbus Avenue]] near the [[Fenway–Kenmore]] neighborhood. It offers undergraduate and graduate programs, and most undergraduates participate in a [[cooperative education]] program.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Northeastern University |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Northeastern-University |access-date=2023-07-06 |website=[[Encyclopædia Britannica]] |language=en}}</ref> Northeastern is accredited by the [[New England Commission of Higher Education]] and is a member of the Boston Consortium for Higher Education. It is [[Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education|classified]] among "[[List of research universities in the United States|R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity]]".<ref name="Carnegie" /> Northeastern maintains satellite campuses in [[Charlotte, North Carolina]]; [[Seattle, Washington]]; [[San Jose, California]]; [[Oakland, California]]; [[Portland, Maine]]; and [[Toronto]] and [[Vancouver]] in [[Canada]]. In 2019, it purchased the [[New College of the Humanities]], establishing an additional campus in [[London|London, England]]. 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.<ref name="NCAA" /> ==History== === Early development === [[File:Boston YMCA, April 1920.jpg|thumb|The [[Huntington Avenue YMCA]] {{Circa|1920}}, site of the Evening Institute for Younger Men.]] In May 1896, directors of the [[YMCA Boston|Boston Young Men's Christian Association]], the first in the U.S., established an '''Evening Institute for Younger Men''', to merge, coordinate and improve its classes that had evolved over the past 40 years. Included among roughly 30 courses offered were algebra, bookkeeping, literature, French, German, Latin, geography, electricity, music, penmanship and physiology. In addition, a banjo club, camera club, orchestra, and weekly parliamentary debates and discussions were promoted. A good education for "any young man of moral character" with a YMCA membership was promised. Located in a new headquarters building at the corner of Boylston and Berkeley streets in Boston, the institute held its first classes in 1898. After a fire, a new YMCA building was constructed on [[Huntington Avenue]] in 1913.<ref name="marston1961">{{cite book|last=Marston|first=Everett C|title=Origin and Development of Northeastern University, 1898-1960|year=1961|isbn=978-1179824123|publisher=Northeastern University}}</ref> The School of Law was also formally established in 1898 with the assistance of an advisory committee, consisting of James Barr Ames, dean of the [[Harvard Law School]]; Samuel Bennett, dean 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 a Polytechnic School in 1904 and a School of Commerce and Finance in 1907. Day classes began in 1909. In 1916, a bill was introduced into the [[Massachusetts General Court|Massachusetts Legislature]] to incorporate the institute as '''Northeastern College'''. After considerable debate and investigation, it was passed in March 1916.<ref>{{cite book|title=International Dictionary of University Histories|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tntEAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA304|author1=Mary Elizabeth Devine|author2=Carol Summerfield|date=December 2, 2013|publisher=Routledge|access-date=2 December 2013|page=304|isbn=9781134262175}}</ref> In 1909, the Polytechnic School began offering co-operative engineering courses to eight students. A four-year daytime program had been established consisting of alternating single weeks of classroom instruction and practical work experience with mostly railroad companies that agreed to accept student workers. In 1920, the Co-operative School of Engineering, which later became the College of Engineering, was first authorized to grant degrees in civil, chemical, electrical and mechanical engineering.<ref name="marston1961" /><ref name="library.northeastern.edu">{{cite web|url=https://library.northeastern.edu/services/archives-special-collections/northeastern-history/timeline/1920s|title=1920s &#124; Northeastern University Library|access-date=July 8, 2020|archive-date=July 28, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200728045120/https://library.northeastern.edu/services/archives-special-collections/northeastern-history/timeline/1920s|url-status=live}}</ref> The cooperative program, the second of its kind in the U.S. after one in [[Cincinnati, Ohio]], was eventually adopted by all departments.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://library.northeastern.edu/services/archives-special-collections/northeastern-history/timeline/1910s|title=1910s &#124; Northeastern University Library|access-date=April 27, 2021|archive-date=April 17, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210417234036/https://library.northeastern.edu/services/archives-special-collections/northeastern-history/timeline/1910s|url-status=live}}</ref> On March 30, 1917, veteran educator Frank Palmer Speare, who had served as director of the institute, was inaugurated as the first president of the newly incorporated Northeastern College. Five years later the college changed its name to '''Northeastern University''' to better reflect the increasing depth of its instruction.<ref name="History" /> In March 1923, the university secured general (A.B. and B.S.) degree-granting power from the Legislature, with the exception of the medical and dental degrees.<ref name="library.northeastern.edu" /> 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]]. Following World War II, Northeastern began admitting women. In 1948, Northeastern separated itself completely from the YMCA.<ref name="northeastern" /> By 1959, when [[Carl Ell]] who had expanded the university stepped down as president, Northeastern had a local identity as an independent technical university serving a commuter and adult population.<ref>{{cite book|last=Frederick|first=Antoinette|title=Northeastern University, Coming of Age: The Ryder Years, 1975-1989|year=1995|publisher=Northeastern University}}</ref> That reputation began changing during the presidency of [[Asa S. Knowles]], from 1959 to 1975. Facing a postwar educational boom, the university broadened undergraduate offerings, increased graduate offerings, modernized administrative and faculty structures, created a Faculty Senate, launched its first-ever capital campaign, reorganized and expanded adult and continuing education, and increased the number of colleges. The university created the College of Education (1953), University College (1960), now called the College of Professional Studies, and the colleges of [[Northeastern University School of Pharmacy|Pharmacy]] and [[Nursing]] (1964), which both later merged into the [[Bouvé College of Health Sciences]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://library.northeastern.edu/services/archives-special-collections/northeastern-history/timeline/1990s |title=1990s &#124; Northeastern University Library |publisher=Library.northeastern.edu |date= |access-date=2022-03-03 |archive-date=May 24, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210524134804/https://library.northeastern.edu/services/archives-special-collections/northeastern-history/timeline/1990s |url-status=live }}</ref> The creation of the College of Criminal Justice (1967) followed, and then the [[Khoury College of Computer Sciences]] (1982), the first college in the United States dedicated to the field of computer science.<ref>{{cite web|title=1980s {{!}} Northeastern University Library|url=https://library.northeastern.edu/services/archives-special-collections/northeastern-history/timeline/1980s|access-date=2020-07-08|website=library.northeastern.edu|archive-date=July 28, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200728062435/https://library.northeastern.edu/services/archives-special-collections/northeastern-history/timeline/1980s|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ccis.northeastern.edu/about/history/|title=Our History {{!}} CCIS|date=|publisher=Northeastern University|author=|access-date=2016-06-04|archive-date=December 18, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181218102120/https://www.ccis.northeastern.edu/about/history/|url-status=live}}</ref> The period between 1959 and 1975, is also often described generally as "The Age of Student Unrest" or "The Student Revolution," when campuses across the United States were rocked with dissension against institutional discrimination and the [[Vietnam War]]. Northeastern's student population not only grew considerably larger, but also more diverse during this time. At the beginning of this period, most of the student body was composed of white males from New England, the majority of whom came from the Boston-area public schools and primarily studied business or engineering. By 1974–75, women accounted for 33 percent of the nearly 14,000 undergraduates students, while 5 percent were black. Moreover, over 900 students came from different foreign countries. Of the graduating class of 2,238, 513 were in Liberal Arts, 462 in Engineering, 389 in Business, 227 in Pharmacy and Allied Health, and the remainder were roughly divided among Education, Boston-Bouvé, Nursing and Criminal Justice.<ref name="frederick1982">{{cite book|last=Frederick|first=Antoinette|title=Northeastern University: An Emerging Giant, 1959-1975|year=1982|publisher=Northeastern University Custom Book Program}}</ref> To attract more women, the university refurbished existing facilities, constructed new women's dormitories and encouraged their participation in all programs. The merger with Boston-Bouvé, a women's college dedicated to physical health, and the creation of the College of Nursing, traditionally a female profession, also contributed to the increase. Though there was an explicit nondiscrimination policy on the books, throughout its history Northeastern had only a handful of black students. In the early 1960s, with financial assistance from the [[Ford Foundation]] in New York in the form of scholarships and co-ops to black high school students, Northeastern began actively recruiting black students. By 1975, black student-led organizations included the Afro-photo Society, Student Grill, Health Careers Club, The Onyx (a black student newspaper), Muhindi Literary Guild, the Outing Club, Black Engineering Society, and the first recognized black fraternity at the university, the Omicron Chapter of [[Iota Phi Theta]]. In addition, the number of foreign students increased from 170 in the 1950s and 1960s to 960 by 1974–75.<ref name="frederick1982" /> === Recent history === [[File:Northeastern University.jpg|thumb|Northeastern's historic [[Carl Stephens Ell|Ell Hall]] on Huntington Avenue.]] By the early 1980s, under President [[Kenneth G. Ryder]], the one-time night commuter school had grown into one of the largest private universities in the nation at around 50,000 students. In 1990, the first class with more live-on campus rather than commuter students was graduated. After Ryder's retirement in 1989, the university adopted a slow and more thoughtful approach to change.<ref name="transforming">{{cite book |last1=Freeland |first1=Richard M. |title=Transforming the urban university: Northeastern, 1996-2006 |date=2019 |publisher=University of Pennsylvania Press |location=Philadelphia |isbn=978-0812251210 |edition=1st}}</ref> Following an economic downturn, a 1991 trustee committee report described the situation as "life threatening to Northeastern," warning of a $17 million budget gap with no funding mechanisms to cover it.<ref name="transforming" /> That year President [[John A. Curry]] formulated a new strategy of transforming Northeastern into a "smaller, leaner, better place to work and study," describing unacceptable compromises in the quality and reputation of the university that had been made in the quest for more students. Staff were terminated and admissions targets were reduced, with applicant numbers beginning to rise by the end of Curry's tenure.<ref name="transforming" /> [[File:Shillman Hall 03, Northeastern University.jpg|thumb|[[Robert J. Shillman|Robert J. Shillman Hall]], constructed in 1995.]] When Curry left office in 1996, the university population had been systematically reduced to about 25,000. Incoming President [[Richard M. Freeland]] decided to focus on recruiting the type of students who were already graduating as the school's prime demographic.<ref name="transforming" /> Freeland focused on improving academics and restructuring the administration with a goal of "creating the country's premier program of practice oriented education".<ref name="transforming" /> In the early 1990s, the university began a $485 million construction program that included residence halls, academic and research facilities, and athletic centers. During the university's transition, Freeland reorganized the co-operative education system, decentralizing it into a department based system to allow better integration of classroom learning with workplace experience.<ref name="transforming" /> 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 have longer and more substantive [[Cooperative education|co-op]] placements, forcing departments to redesign aging programs to fit the longer format.<ref name="transforming" /> Freeland also created a marketing department, uncommon for universities at the time, and expanded the university advancement office, while setting an ambitious $200 million fundraising target with the goal of reducing dependency on tuition.<ref name="transforming" /> Between 1995 and 2007, average [[SAT]] exam scores increased more than 200 points, retention rates rose dramatically, and applications doubled.<ref>{{cite web|title=2000s {{!}} Northeastern University Library|url=https://library.northeastern.edu/archives-special-collections/find-collections/northeastern-history/timeline/2000s|access-date=2020-07-08|website=library.northeastern.edu|archive-date=July 28, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200728062830/https://library.northeastern.edu/archives-special-collections/find-collections/northeastern-history/timeline/2000s|url-status=live}}</ref> In 1998, Freeland set an admissions target of 2,800 freshman per year, allowing for adequate tuition income without compromising on education.<ref name="transforming" /> Throughout the transformation, his oft-repeated goal was to crack the top 100 of the ''[[U.S. News & World Report]]'s'' rankings of America's best universities.<ref name="Freeland Retire">{{cite news|title=Freeland to step down|url=http://huntnewsnu.com/2005/09/freeland-to-step-down/|access-date=May 22, 2014|newspaper=The Huntington News|date=September 6, 2005|archive-date=May 22, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140522213146/http://huntnewsnu.com/2005/09/freeland-to-step-down/|url-status=live}}</ref> With this accomplished by 2005, the transformation goal from commuting school to nationally recognized research university was complete.

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.<ref name="boston3" /> In addition, Aoun created more academic partnerships with other institutions in the Boston area, including [[Tufts University]], [[Hebrew College]] and the [[School of the Museum of Fine Arts]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Northeastern University and School of The Museum Of Fine Arts, Boston, Announce New Joint Degree Programs|url=https://news.northeastern.edu/2007/04/05/artdegrees/|access-date=2021-02-17|website=news.northeastern.edu|date=April 5, 2007|language=en-US|archive-date=March 4, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210304005208/https://news.northeastern.edu/2007/04/05/artdegrees/|url-status=live}}</ref> During this period, Northeastern rapidly advanced in national rankings.
