Welcome to the College of Arts, Media and Design. Prospective students often ask: What’s it like to attend the College of Arts, Media and Design? At CAMD, there’s no single answer. That’s why we invite you to find your path and forge your own experience.

Explore how academics at CAMD break free from traditional models to bring experiential learning to life. How our six schools and departments are developing perspectives in a range of creative fields. How our dynamic faculty and staff drive innovation through rigorous research and a flexible curriculum. How our global philosophy and networks open new pathways to success—and how studying in Boston and in Northeastern’s global network bring it all home.

Discover programs that truly empower our students—from pursuing an innovative undergraduate or graduate degree to signing up for or creating your own combined major to engaging the world on a co-op, study abroad, or Dialogue of Civilizations program.

Seek out important admissions information for undergraduates and graduates, or valuable resources for current students at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Tap into faculty-led research that boldly crosses disciplines and pushes the boundaries of creativity, communication, and innovation through research, scholarship, and creative practice.

Engage our diverse community of scholars and makers, innovators and entrepreneurs. Attend a workshop or performance at the Center for the Arts. Participate in events, hackathons, and conferences. Join a student club. And give to CAMD in a way that’s most meaningful to you.

There is no one way to experience CAMD, but the best way to start is by visiting us. We look forward to seeing you on campus.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Hudson, Ph.D.
