Overview
Northeastern University Toronto is the Canadian graduate campus of Northeastern University, a private research university headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts.
The campus is located at 375 Queen Street West in downtown Toronto and focuses exclusively on industry-aligned master's degrees, with programs drawn from Northeastern colleges including the College of Engineering and the College of Professional Studies.

Most programs are taught on campus, and several offer hybrid or online study options alongside Fall and Spring intakes. In keeping with Northeastern's experiential-learning model, some programs, including the Master of Science in Information Systems, let students apply for a co-op work placement to gain Canadian industry experience before graduation.

Applicants generally need a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution, a statement of purpose, a professional resume, transcripts, and two letters of recommendation, and non-native English speakers must show proof of English proficiency. Tuition is published as an estimated total program amount in Canadian dollars and varies by program, and partial-tuition scholarships are available to eligible domestic and international students.
