Welcome to Project Success
Studying at Northeastern Illinois University opens doors to interacting with one of the most ethnically diverse university communities in the Midwest, and provides course content and opportunities for global experience. Our faculty is dedicated to excellence in instruction, research and public service.
Project Success was established in 1968 as an educational access and equity program, the main focus was to recruit and retain African American students. Today, Project Success remains dedicated to access and equity by serving students of all races, ethnicities, nationalities and backgrounds, making it one of the most diverse programs on campus.
