PlusOne with MS in Information Systems – Bridge
PlusOne with MS in Information Systems – Bridge
Overview
PlusOne accelerated master’s degrees allow students to accelerate the attainment of the master’s degree by applying graduate credits taken as an undergraduate toward both the undergraduate and graduate degrees. Current undergraduate students apply to enroll in the PlusOne program.
With the PlusOne program, students attain their bachelor’s degree followed by a PlusOne year to complete the master’s degree.
Benefits
- Accelerate learning – get your master’s in one year vs. typically two
- Reduce costs – apply some courses toward both your undergrad and master’s degrees, and get the MS for PlusOne tuition scholarship
- Gain a competitive edge – stand out with an advanced degree
Below are the eligible undergraduate majors available to pursue a PlusOne pathway with a master’s degree in Information Systems. Also, review the Accelerated Master’s link for further details, including program policies and procedures, as well as how to Apply.
Innovative Curriculum
In addition to Northeastern’s Boston campus, this program is available at our campuses in Arlington, VA; Miami, FL; Oakland, CA; Portland, ME; Seattle, WA; and Silicon Valley, CA.
