In 2016, Northeastern University was one of only eight universities chosen for the U.S. Department of Education’s Educational Quality through Innovative Partnerships (EQUIP) experimental sites initiative, which aims to provide more Americans with the skills required for the 21st century.
EQUIP will increase students’ access to innovative, high-quality, postsecondary education and spur innovative collaborations between universities and non-traditional education providers. Northeastern’s EQUIP project is in partnership with General Electric (GE) and the American Council on Education.
