A Liberal Arts Education for the 21st Century

The College of Social Sciences and Humanities at Northeastern University offers students the best of both worlds: the intimacy of a liberal arts college, and the state-of-the-art facilities, breadth of offerings, and the accomplished faculty of a global research institution.
