Northeastern’s high-caliber research and scholarship
activities encourage intellectual growth. They also let students
contribute to academic work that has a direct impact on society.
Graduate students are integral to faculty research
at the College of Arts and Sciences, which has received growing
government and corporate
funding — $15 million in the last year alone.
Students can participate
in wide-ranging projects based in their academic department
or a cross-disciplinary research center. They might, for instance,
work
with:
- the renowned Barnett Institute of Chemical Analysis and
Materials Science,
- the Center for Labor Market Studies, a respected
source
of employment data and trends,
- the Brudnick Center
on Violence and Conflict, which examines hate crimes, school
violence,
state-sponsored
terrorism and related issues.
History students can get involved
with such Northeastern-based journals as the "New England
Quarterly," the country's leading historical review of New England
life
and letters.
In classrooms, laboratories and practice settings,
Northeastern graduate students learn from professors recognized
for excellence.
Faculty have received prestigious awards, including Sloan,
Guggenheim and Fulbright fellowships; the National Institutes
of Health
Javits Neuroscience Investigator Award; and the American
Chemical Society
Fisher Award.
Many publish in top journals, lecture throughout
the world, organize national and international conferences,
and serve
as industry and government consultants. Faculty experiences
strengthen the quality of education for students.
