                MLB Selects Northeastern University as Preferred Education Provider
                    Major League Baseball and Northeastern University have established the sport’s first partnership to provide professional baseball players with access to higher education programs and degrees. The agreement follows last year’s inclusion of a new Continuing Education Program in MLB’s collective bargaining agreement, which now provides players with additional funds devoted to their educational development. MLB selected Northeastern over a competitive field of other leading universities.
