Experiential Education that Makes an Impact.
The John Martinson Honors Program offers students the ability to explore their future at Northeastern and beyond through meaningful and intentional curated requirements. Having undergone an exciting reimagination process in Fall 2023, Honors currently oversees two distinct, enriching learning experiences for undergraduate students. Honors students additionally may have varying requirements depending on their entry term:
First-Year Admits are students who were admitted to the Honors Program prior to enrolling at Northeastern (i.e., during the Fall of their first year).
Internal Admits are students who were admitted to the Honors Program after enrolling at Northeastern.
