About the Opportunity

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The N.U.in Program is one of Northeastern’s signature global first-year experiences and truly embodies the university’s experiential approach to education. Launched in 2007, The N.U.in Program exemplifies Northeastern’s commitment to experiential learning, offering students the chance to begin their college journey with a transformative semester abroad. 

Students admitted to The N.U.in Program embark on a unique journey. They study abroad in their first semester with other Northeastern first-year students at the N.U.in location of their choice and begin their studies on the Boston campus during their spring semester.

In 2025, The N.U.in Program will host 9 N.U.in locations across Europe.
