Northeastern University, College of Engineering, Master of Science in Data Analytics Engineering.
Yes, it’s the same as the on-campus program. Upon program completion, you’ll receive your diploma. It’s a degree conferred for a Master of Science in Data Analytics Engineering, and your diploma won’t mention "online" or "Coursera".
The Northeastern University Fast App is a performance-based admissions process which allows you to earn graduate admission by completing real coursework. No need to gather application materials. No need to wait for an admissions decision. Let your performance in your coursework serve as your application into your graduate program.
After submitting the Fast App, you will get access to two performance-based admissions courses (pathway courses) for the next start date (Spring, Summer, Fall). Get a B or better in both pathway courses and submit the official transcript of your admissible degree by the time you complete the courses and you'll continue into the full degree program the next term.
Yes. The courses from the Fast App pathway are from the DAE program and will be applied to the full degree program once completed with a B or better.
Yes. When you’ve completed the program, you’ll be invited to attend the graduation ceremony on the Northeastern campus.
As an online student, you’re welcome to visit the campus if you’re in the area (local health requirements and restrictions permitting). Many of the on-campus resources will also be made available to you in an online format.
For Performance-Based Admission there are no formal language requirements, however, learners need to have enough mastery of the English language in order to complete the courses including group work and exams in English. For standard application (traditional application), learners will need to submit English Proficiency test scores if they are not US citizens or US permanent residents.
There's no application fee for the fast app. There's a $100 application fee to apply through the traditional graduate application.
Students in the online DAE program can request a Husky Card be sent via mail or go to an NU campus to have one created.
No. For a DAE program with F-1 visa eligibility, check out the on-ground DAE program through the College of Engineering at Northeastern.
Upon submission of the course enrollment form, you are officially a Northeastern student and enrolled in your selected course(s) to start the next term! You will receive an email from our success manager, Katie Freedman, to introduce herself, provide you with information about the mandatory onboarding course, how to pay your bill, and help you prepare to start your program. If you have any questions or issues regarding your enrollment, academic plan, or transition to the university, Katie will be your first point of contact.
If you do not plan to start classes, you will need to inform Katie of your intention to withdraw in order to avoid any payment or transcript impacts.
