Book Description

Excerpt from Graduate School of Engineering: Student Guide and Catalogue 1992/93 Located at the center. Of Boston's thriving educational and cultural life, Northeastern University is dedicated to excellence in research and scholarship and is committed to responding to individual and community educational needs. Since its beginning at the end of the nineteenth century, Northeastern has pioneered a wide range of educational programs and services for students of all ages. Northeastern University's roots lie in the Evening Institute for Young Men founded in Boston in 1898. Classes in law were offered at a reasonable cost during the evening for those who worked during the day. The first evening law school in Boston quickly expanded to include other disciplines and soon added an innovative daytime program which alternated classroom study with work experience. By the time Northeastern was incorporated as a university in 1922, the school had committed itself to cooperative education by day, adult education in the evening. Almost a century after its founding, Northeastern has become a comprehensive university with eight undergraduate colleges, ten graduate and professional schools, several suburban campuses, and an extensive research division. A private nonsectarian institution of higher learning chartered and authorized to grant degrees by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the University is governed by a Board of Trustees elected by and from the Northeastern University Corporation, which is composed of about 200 distinguished academic and professional leaders from around the country.
