Foundation Year

Foundation Year is a pathway program to Northeastern University. Foundation Year is an innovative first-year college program for high school graduates and students holding their HiSet/GED. The program seeks students who would like to pursue a degree at Northeastern and would benefit from a comprehensive first year college experience featuring rigorous academics, career exploration and wraparound support services including advising, tutoring, mentoring, social networking, and work ready skills. Students who successfully complete Foundation Year will matriculate into a degree program at Northeastern through one of two pathways: through Northeastern’s College of Professional Studies (CPS) or through one of Northeastern’s seven undergraduate day colleges by meeting academic standards.
