Signature university experiences can include participating in the student-led mutual fund, experiencing international business practices and economies through an elective course abroad, launching a business or consulting the development of a startup with the university’s venture accelerator, or learning firsthand how public policy affects the U.S. and global economies through an intensive elective course in Washington D.C.
With these experiences, it’s hardly surprising why Northeastern’s students go on to work at Fortune 500 and startup companies, nonprofits, and multinational businesses.
