Six things to love about Khoury College

#1: Fostering an environment of belonging

Since its earliest days, the computer science field has often failed to mirror the demographics of the society it discovers and designs for. That’s where our mission of “computer science for everyone” comes in. By bringing more women, underrepresented groups, and non-CS majors into the field, Khoury College aims to foster open environments in which varied interests, backgrounds, and ideas coalesce, coexist, and build upon each other. The result: a sense of belonging, and a new generation of computer scientists with a wide range of perspectives. A place for everyone.

#2: Interdisciplinary study

At a time when the computing field is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary, so are Khoury College’s degree offerings. With 60 combined majors and counting, Khoury College offers students paths for integrating computer science, data science, or cybersecurity with everything from journalism and theater to physics and biology. And by learning from jointly appointed faculty whose teaching and research is similarly multifaceted, students gain a deeper understanding of how their field intersects with others.

Through this fusion of fields, Khoury graduates become more versatile computer scientists, discover new interests, and position themselves into standout job candidates.

#3: Big-city locations, small-campus feel

Khoury College has a presence at more Northeastern University campuses than any other college, spanning both US coasts and extending north into Canada. Most lie in major tech centers, allowing for the culture, resources, transit, and employer connections of a large hub — all while maintaining the intimate feel of a small campus.

#4: Learn through experience

More than 500 industry partners. A broad swath of research opportunities. Study abroad and service learning courses across the globe. Capstone projects. By participating in Khoury College’s countless out-of-class offerings, students can build the experience, insights, and savvy to pursue research, land a high-paying job, or start their own endeavor.

#5: Support and collaboration

Khoury College is proud to create a culture based on collaboration, community, and respect. With the backing of academic advisors, co-op coordinators, teaching assistants, and numerous other support staff, Khoury students can plan and pursue their optimal path.

#6: Global network

With a strong presence throughout Northeastern’s global network of campuses, Khoury College empowers its students to learn and grow across the globe. Our programs are strategically placed in tech hubs — including Silicon Valley, Seattle, and Vancouver — allowing students to connect with our industry partners, embark on career-changing co-ops and internships, and explore innovative research projects.
