Ensuring academic and research excellence

Advancing our mission

Northeastern University is a force for global transformation; the Office of the Provost guides the academic and research initiatives powering that change. In addition to overseeing and supporting Northeastern’s schools, colleges, faculty, and global research enterprise, the provost’s office guides the university in implementing the academic plan and a range of interdisciplinary initiatives across its 10 colleges and schools.

The office is led by Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs David Madigan and a dynamic team of deans and administrators.

Our priorities

The provost’s office is responsible for many integral components of the Northeastern community, from enhancing the quality of academic and research programs to supporting the success of faculty.
