Information Sessions

Are you planning to be in the Boston area?  You can register for an in-person information session and tour of our Boston campus.  Both general Northeastern sessions and College of Engineering sessions are offered.  View the schedules and register for an in-person session.  If you are unable to visit our Boston campus, view the schedule and register for a virtual session.  Both general and engineering-specific virtual sessions are offered.  For more information, please e-mail Lisa DeBenedictis at l.debenedictis@northeastern.edu.

First-Year Enrollment Programs for Engineering

The first-year engineering coursework provides a foundational experience across engineering majors, which provides flexibility for students who may decide to change their engineering major during the first year.  The first-year required math, science, and Cornerstone courses are offered at multiple locations including the Northeastern Boston campus, Northeastern Oakland campus, and the Northeastern London campus via the London Scholars Program.  The first-year engineering coursework is also offered via the New York City Scholars Program and through the N.U.in Program as well.

Engineering students participate in many of the first-year programs just mentioned.  At this time, students across engineering majors complete their studies on the Boston campus only following their participation in any of our first-year global enrollment programs, with one exception.  The exception is that students who are admitted to our Oakland campus for the following academic programs only will have the option to either stay in Oakland to continue and complete their studies or to transition to the Boston campus after the first year in Oakland to continue and complete their studies in Boston: Computer Engineering (single major); Computer Engineering and Computer Science (combined major); Electrical Engineering (single major); Electrical and Computer Engineering (combined major).  Learn more about Northeastern Engineering Oakland.

Building Bridges

A day for high school freshmen, sophomores, and juniors to learn what engineering is all about. Students choose from a menu of hands-on interactive activities led by our engineering faculty and students from each of our departments. “Building Bridges” days are typically held in November/December and in April/May annually.
