The N.U.in Program, Northeastern’s signature first-semester experience, was introduced in 2007 to develop your global perspective and provide you with the skills you need to navigate the world – today and in the years to come.
The N.U.in Program is very different from a traditional study abroad experience. The foundation of The N.U.in Program is the staff that provides a structured environment in which you can grow as globally aware, independent, mature, and confident individual. Throughout this program, our staff encourages you to find your own voice and become true citizens of the world. This is experiential learning at its best.
