NECC is expanding its longstanding commitment to graduate education with an exciting new opportunity for employees through a partnership with Northeastern University (NU). 

Through a collaboration with NU, we are thrilled to announce an onsite graduate degree program in applied behavior analysis (ABA), exclusively for NECC staff, launching Fall 2027. 

This graduate program will give NECC employees the opportunity to work full time while earning a master’s degree from Northeastern.  

Adjunct faculty in the Bouvé College of Health Sciences will teach graduate courses at our Southborough campus, creating a unique opportunity for our staff to connect advanced coursework with hands-on experience at NECC. 

This partnership brings together two organizations with deep roots in ABA and renews a graduate education relationship that dates back more than three decades. 

More information about the program and application process will be available in January 2027.
