Northeastern in Oakland offers industry-aligned, career-centered graduate degrees to help students succeed in the international ecosystem of the Bay Area. Students can pursue programs to deepen their theoretical and technical expertise in technology fields, take on leadership roles in business or public policy, master interdisciplinary sectors like biotechnology or game design, or become licensed to teach in California schools. Our graduate programs span a breadth of disciplines, but each shares Northeastern's signature emphasis on experiential learning. As each program has recently launched its first California-based cohorts, graduate students in Oakland benefit from small class sizes and high faculty access, locally paired with wide-ranging resources and contacts in the university network.
Let's talk logistics: what do you need to know before you decide to move to Oakland? We'll talk about housing, transit, and what it's like to be a local here. This session will also introduce you to some of the social life on campus and student support services that Northeastern provides.
