About Northeastern
The College of Professional Studies
The Northeastern Master of Science in Leadership is offered by the College of Professional Studies (CPS). CPS faculty are comprised of full-time
university professors pursuing the latest research in their field and industry leaders with the experience of applying knowledge to the problems and issues of their profession.
The Northeastern component of the Global Leadership Program will be taught at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne by CPS professors.
The Faculty Partnership
Northeastern's 1,105 full- and part-time faculty members form an experienced network of mentors and advisers who extend their teaching beyond the lecture hall and faculty office. In fact, the Kaplan/Newsweek College Catalogue includes Northeastern among a group of colleges and universities that offer the most individual academic attention. The partnership between faculty and students takes form in the classroom; in the laboratory, where they collaborate on research; and in the mentoring relationships that develop out of these shared endeavours.

A Campus like No Other
The Chronicle of Higher Education recently named Northeastern's one of the most attractive urban campuses in the world
because it has all the elements of a traditional college campus amid a thriving city. But the benefits of this urban
oasis extend beyond appearances.
Housed in the buildings around campus are some of the finest laboratories in this city known for advanced research facilities; the largest academic library in Boston; and all of the modern conveniences a student could ask for, from Internet access in the residence halls to a university-wide online database system.
Traditions
The traditional school colors of red and black as well as the Husky dog mascot are displayed proudly by more than 165,000 alumni living in 50 states and 122 countries.
Northeastern adopted the nickname "Huskies" in 1927, and the first Husky appeared on campus on March 4 of that year. He came to Boston's North Station by train from Alaska and was greeted by more than 1,000 students and the University band. Classes were canceled for the afternoon, and King Husky was paraded with police escort for the four miles to campus.
King Husky I ruled Huntington Avenue for fourteen years, and his successors have appeared at thousands of athletic events.
King Husky's memory is kept alive by students in their Mr. and Mrs. Husky costumes, representing the energetic working student, symbolic of all Northeastern undergraduates.
And the campus good-luck tradition?
Rub the nose of the Husky statue in Ell Hall, and your fortunes are sure to rise.
