Northeastern-Mills Merger is Official
Northeastern University and Mills College, a pioneering women’s college located in Oakland, California, offi- cially merged over the summer to create Mills College at Northeastern. Northeastern is now the only university in the United States with comprehensive campuses on both coasts — robust campuses that include undergraduate and graduate learning, residential life, recreation and research.
“By joining together, Mills and Northeastern can reach new heights and have broader impacts on our world. This is our collective mission, our calling, our guiding star,” said Northeastern University President Joseph E. Aoun.
This fall, approximately 500 Northeastern undergraduates joined returning Mills College students for a full course load of classes and activities on the stunning 135-acre campus, which boasts Spanish-style buildings and a campus bell tower designed by the legendary architect Julia Morgan.
“Mills College at Northeastern opens up all kinds of possibilities for our law school,” said Dean James Hackney. “We are exploring ways to partner with our West Coast colleagues and to create programs that will benefit our law students.”
