Our Mission

About Us

Northeastern University's Healthcare Systems Engineering (HSyE) program is a university-level institute that has focused on improving healthcare efficiency, quality, logistics, safety, flow, effectiveness, and access for more than 30 years. We have a simple mission: to broadly impact healthcare improvement through education, research, and application in systems engineering methods.

We accomplish this mission through our HSyE undergraduate and graduate academic programs, national experiential coop education and summer internship programs, three federally-awarded healthcare industrial engineering centers, competitive scholarships, and strategic partnerships. We rely on deep industry-university partnerships to advance the shared missions of healthcare improvement and workforce development. 

We strive to balance application, research, education, and methods development. Please browse our pages and publications to see the breadth of our work and impact in the areas, and please contact us to become involved.
