Studying in Boston

Big city opportunities, small town connections

CAMD is located in one of the world’s premier cities for arts, media, and design—and we’ve developed our academic programs and co-op experiences to take advantage of everything Boston has to offer. Northeastern’s campus is just steps (or a short T ride) away from the city’s cultural hubs, from world-class museums to centuries-old architecture to industry-leading newspapers. Plus, CAMD and the Center for the Arts invite artists and experts to campus, enabling students to better connect with leaders in their fields.

Boston is critical to our students’ success

CAMD students are immersed in Boston’s rich history, culture, intellect, and innovation, making the city a living laboratory for research and learning. See how Boston plays an integral role in each department across the college while providing a broad array of opportunities for students.

Theatre

Boston is one of the most dynamic theatre cities in the United States. It is home to more than 100 theatre companies offering Northeastern students a range of experiences from dazzling Broadway musicals to cutting-edge fringe theatre.  Our campus is located on Boston’s Avenue of the Arts, right next to the Tony Award-winning Huntington Theatre Company, which has produced more than 100 premieres and sent 16 productions to Broadway or Off-Broadway.  Nearby are acclaimed theatres such as SpeakEasy Stage CompanyLyric Stage Company of Boston, and Company One.  Across the river in Cambridge is the American Repertory Theater, which has launched the recent Broadway hits Pippin, The Glass Menagerie, All the Way, and Finding Neverland.  Northeastern theatre students can receive discounted tickets to most professional productions in the region.  Discover what’s playing in Boston Theatre.
