A recent graduate from the Year Up United program had this to say:
“Year Up United provided a strong foundation with practical skills and real-world experience, but I knew that higher education would offer a broader knowledge base and open up even more career opportunities. The combination of hands-on learning from Year Up United and the academic rigor at Northeastern has been invaluable. What drew me to the College of Professional Studies (CPS) at Northeastern was how closely the classes aligned with the experiences I had at Year Up United. CPS also accepted almost all of my credits from Year Up United, which made the transition much smoother and more efficient. This partnership between Year Up United and Northeastern really resonated with me because it felt like a natural extension of my learning journey.”
