The corporate world and the world of business education rely on one another, forging links that make both sides of the equation stronger. These ties are the heart of the Corporate Alliance, created by Northeastern's College of Business Administration to catalyze dynamic and meaningful interaction between business and academia.
Corporate Alliance members provide the College with valuable support that has significantly helped the College garner national recognition. In exchange, members enjoy access to the College's exceptional resources.
