Northeastern University and the School of Professional and Continuing Studies (SPCS) welcome international and domestic students who bring new perspectives to strengthen mutual understanding. With that goal in mind, we have created three special summer programs:
Boston as Campus, English Plus+ Boston as Campus, and Global Leadership Program.
Boston as Campus programs are intensive academic courses offered in a two-week format at Northeastern University and throughout the city of Boston. Designed for undergraduate or graduate students, alumni, and adult learners, these programs use the city and its renowned cultural and historical sites as part of the teaching and learning experience. They draw upon Northeastern University’s faculty to offer a unique learning experience that combines education with a rich urban experience. While meeting times are subject to change to accommodate appropriate field studies and visits, courses are typically scheduled Monday through Thursday from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM.
For more information, please contact Janet Headley at 617-373-8845 or ja.headley@neu.edu.
