The D'Amore-McKim School of Business is the business college of Northeastern University, which was founded in 1898 as part of the Boston YMCA. The school grew out of Northeastern's College of Business Administration, established in 1922, and was renamed in 2011 after a major gift from alumnus Richard D'Amore and his wife Pamela McKim. It is best known for pioneering experiential learning through Northeastern's cooperative education (co-op) model, which alternates classroom study with paid, full-time professional work, and it is regularly ranked among the top business schools in the U.S. for both undergraduate and graduate programs.
Students experience a collaborative, career-focused culture in an urban setting in the heart of Boston, with access to employers in finance, technology, healthcare, and consulting. Distinctive strengths include supply chain management, finance, marketing analytics, entrepreneurship, and international business, supported by global co-op opportunities and dialogue-of-civilizations programs abroad. Undergraduates typically graduate with up to 18 months of professional experience, and the school offers extensive graduate options including the MBA, specialized master's degrees, and a doctoral program, with robust online and part-time formats.
