About
Established through the 2022 merger with the historic Mills College, Northeastern University Oakland serves as the institution’s Northern California hub, pairing a legacy of social justice with high-demand programs in computer science, business, data science, and the liberal arts. The campus culture combines a close-knit, inclusive residential environment on a lush 135-acre arboretum with the fast-paced innovation of the surrounding San Francisco Bay Area. Central to the student experience is Northeastern’s signature cooperative education (co-op) program, which provides direct pathways to professional experience in Silicon Valley tech, healthcare, and nonprofit sectors. A distinctive feature is its seamless integration into Northeastern’s global university system, allowing students to easily study, conduct research, or complete co-ops across campuses worldwide.
