Belonging at Khoury College

CS for everyone

Welcome to our supportive community

At Khoury College, our mission of Computer Science for Everyone directly ties to our commitment to fostering an environment where everyone belongs. It underlies every initiative at Khoury College; it’s who we are and what we do.

From research designed to benefit all of society to a curriculum rooted in our core principles described in our Oath for Computing Professionals, we strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where everyone can thrive. 

Khoury College and Northeastern University provide support resources to help you acclimate smoothly into the Khoury community. From academic advising to mental health services, we’re here to support your journey. 


Academic programs that broaden participation

  • The Align master’s programs, which bring together creative thinkers from more than 100 disciplines to learn computer science (CS) or data science (DS) for the first time — and launch a career in tech.
  • 56 combined majors that pair CS, DS, or cybersecurity with other undergraduate degrees at Northeastern. Students can make their impact in the area they’re most passionate about.
  • Meaningful minors that make it easy to customize a CS or DS minor to link it to a primary major.
  • The LEADERs Program that enables postdoctoral students to work at the juncture of their field and experiential AI, or other CS areas.
