Northeastern University to acquire Marymount Manhattan College.

Northeastern University, a global research university, agreed to acquire Marymount Manhattan College, an urban, independent, liberal arts college. Financial terms were not disclosed. “As always, our guiding principles for building the Global University System remain: Enhanced mobility for undergraduates; industry-aligned lifelong learning opportunities; and unparalleled opportunities for faculty to globalize their teaching and research. And because no other university has built a global system quite like Northeastern’s, we are differentiating ourselves at a time of great uncertainty in higher education,” Joseph E. Aoun, Northeastern President.
