历史

1898年，基督教青年会在波士顿创办了东北大学的前身“青年夜校”，并于同年十月三日开始授课。由于波士顿地区迅猛增长的人口对高质量课程的需求，成立仅仅几年，青年夜校就开设了多个学科的课程，覆盖了法律、工程、金融等多个专业。1909年，学校给位全日制大学。1913学校搬迁到了现在的地址：Huntington Avenue。1916年，青年夜校获得了本科学位授予资格。1922年，学校更名为“东北大学”。此后的几年中，学校规模迅速扩大，购买了Huntington Avenue的大片区域作并入校园。
1935年，东北大学开设了艺术学院。
1937年，东北大学董事会成立。1948年，东北大学脱离基督教青年会，成为一个独立运营的大学。
二战之后，东北大学又新建了多个学院：自然科学院、教育学院（1953）、成人教育学院（1960）、医学院（1964）、法学院（1967）、商学院、工学院、计算机学院（1982）等。
