The program curriculum will harness the expertise of faculty members in three colleges: the College of Computer and Information Science, the College of Social Sciences and Humanities, and the D’Amore-McKim School of Business.

Northeastern Students Attend India Marketing Program
A group of Northeastern students got some in-depth experience with lessons in marketing this summer during a marketing-focused Dialogue of Civilizations program in India. Where students are developing two marketing campaign proposals for a Mumbai advertising agency.
Through the Dialogue of Civilizations, which is one of Northeastern’s global experiential learning programs, students spend several weeks in cities across the globe, where they immerse themselves in the local culture and connect with their peers in different national, cultural, political, and social environments.
Through these experiences, Northeastern students acquire valuable skills and increased cultural awareness that they bring back to the classroom and to their other experiential learning opportunities.
