Player Success Stories
“I’m looking forward to completing my degree and seeing how proud my family will be. I am doing it for them, for me, and for all other players out there, to show them the importance of finishing your degree. There is no place I’d rather complete my degree than Northeastern, and I encourage any other current or former player to strongly consider Northeastern.” –Carlos Peña, former Major League All-Star & current MLB Network Analyst, working towards a BS in Liberal Studies
“I know that completing my bachelor’s degree will help me advance my career once my playing days are over. I complete all of my coursework online and Northeastern has made the whole process as easy as possible. Having a top 50 degree on my resume is going to open doors. If you are thinking about finishing your bachelor’s, I highly recommend that you consider Northeastern.” –Preston Gainey, Minor Leaguer in Milwaukee Brewers organization, working towards a BS in Management
