About CAMD
Comprised of six academic schools and departments and multiple research centers and labs, the College of Arts, Media and Design is a vibrant community of creators, innovators, and researchers dedicated to expanding artistic and academic boundaries. We integrate fundamental human literacies with cutting-edge advancements in technology, data and new media.
Our Boston campus includes a network of creative and physical maker spaces and our offerings are available at more than half a dozen of Northeastern’s global locations including Oakland, London and Vancouver.
We are inclusive, flexible, pragmatic, and responsive. Most of all, we are transforming the academic and research landscape through interdisciplinary collaborations, not just within our College and global University network, but around the world.
