About

Form 990, Parts I and III, line 1 To educate students for a life of fulfillment and accomplishment. To create and translate knowledge to meet global and societal needs. This mission inspires members of the University community in whatever they do - as students and scholars, as teachers and researchers, as mentors, as administrators, and as leaders. Northeastern's commitment to this mission is focused in three areas of distinction where the university can have the greatest effect on the lives of students and the wider world: experiential learning, use-inspired research, and global connection and engagement. By concentrating its energy in these areas, Northeastern is best positioned to set priorities, make decisions, and focus resources that allow the institution to achieve its goals as a leader in higher education.
