Established in 1898, the university offers undergraduate and graduate programs on its main campus in Boston as well as regional campuses in [[Charlotte, North Carolina]]; [[Seattle, Washington]]; [[San Jose, California]]; [[San Francisco, California]]; [[Toronto]], [[Vancouver]], and [[Portland, Maine]]. In 2019, Northeastern purchased the [[New College of the Humanities]] in [[London, England]].

Northeastern features a [[cooperative education]] program, more commonly known as "co-op", that integrates classroom study with professional experience and contains over 3,100 partners across all seven continents.<ref>http://www.northeastern.edu/experiential-learning/co-op/</ref> The program has been a key part of Northeastern's curriculum of experiential learning for more than a hundred years and is one of the largest co-op/internship programs in the world. While it is not required for students of all academic disciplines to participate in the co-op program, participation is nearly universal among undergraduate students as it helps distinguish their university experience from that of other universities. Northeastern also has a comprehensive [[study abroad]] program that spans more than 170 universities and colleges.<ref>http://www.northeastern.edu/geo/opportunity/#/?type=study-abroad</ref>
