Parenting while pursuing a degree is possible. Like many responsibilities, it requires balance, preparation and support. This page provides some of the resources at Northeastern for our student parents. Our colleagues in the Office of Global Services have put together a list of resources for families called Family Matters. These resources are inclusive for any student who is parenting while at Northeastern. Northeastern University employees can review various resources available through Human Resources
