Northeastern hosted the second-largest number of international students of any university in the United States in 2024 because we have a commitment to embracing all cultures and nationalities. Northeastern is focused on building an innovative, welcoming, and respectful global society.
Northeastern University is a top research university in the United States, with a growing global network comprising campuses located in the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom. But we are also a gateway to thousands of partnerships with businesses and entrepreneurs across the globe.
Employers know Northeastern by reputation because our students are so driven and well-prepared to succeed.

Our career-focused programs and services advance students’ paths and open opportunities by providing practical, cutting-edge content anchored by real-world applications and flexibility.
I know what it’s like to leave one’s home and family to journey to another country, facing an exciting–but uncertain–future. But this kind of risk-taking fits perfectly with Northeastern's focus on experience and connections.
