That switched around rankings. Also keep in mind Northeastern is often a 5 year school because of their highly regarded Co-op program. One of the metrics used for ratings is percent graduating in 4 years, so that affects Northeastern’s ranking negatively despite being a huge draw for the school and for employers hiring Northeastern grads.
Because the nationally competitive Northeastern of today is far different from its regional commuter school roots, it will do better on the former rather than the latter You will see a continuing rise in Northeastern’s performance in the latter type of assessment over the next ten to twenty years until the student body of the last 10 years or ...
A discussion thread where users compare the pros and cons of two pharmacy programs in Boston. Most users prefer Northeastern for its co-op opportunities, reputation, and social life, while MCPHS is cheaper and smaller.
Co-ops are very good for giving students fairly extensive lab/research background, and you can absolutely go straight from Northeastern to med school without gap year. In fact, my daughter’s best friend at Northeastern did just one co-op, did summer school and still graduated in 4 years – then went directly to Tufts medical school.
One of the things Northeastern is most known for is its co-op program. While there is a lot of good information on Northeastern’s website, this is meant to be a more student / accessible version of that information, plus… 19: 14723: November 30, 2020
<p>I have been accepted to both schools, and was just wondering what some of the pros/cons are of each school with regard to campus/social life, academics, future job prospects, etc… Finance is not really an issue because I got a scholarship to Northeastern which basically makes the cost equal.<br> Also, I was accepted to the Smeal College of Business for PSU and The College of Business ...
Hi guys, My son has been accepted to these universities, for computer science. We live in the Boston suburbs. UMass tuition would be the lowest for us, as in-state. UW Madison has the highest ranking here, but would it justify $21K/year more (though we still can afford) and 4 years living far from home? NEU is the most expensive one. We hardly can get any merit scholarship, but they have a ...
Northeastern’s difference often comes from rankings using the 4 year graduation rate, which is very low since Northeastern is a 5 year school for most of the student body with the co-op program. Northeastern also changed a lot in the past 20 years or so, and rankings that use metrics of opinion and perceived prestige lag behind.
A user asks for advice on choosing between Purdue and Northeastern for computer science. See the pros and cons of both schools, rankings, co-op options, and personal preferences from other users.
So all of the top schools and all of the second-tier schools are above NEU. Then other “good” schools might be above because of the various things they rank based on. A huge university has a harder time with the “percentage of classes under 50 students” part, and a small private one has a harder time with the stuff based on funding.</p>
