Northeastern University (NEU) Courses and Fees 2025

• Pretty doable if you set aside time. I took up a challenging course like bioinformatics to test my aptitude. I would say I would rate it 7/10. It was both theoretical and practical. We had coding sessions for courses like BINF6308 and BINF6309 (Computational Methods-I and Computational Methods-II) that can be considered practical and we had theory classes like Biotech Enterprise that cover the fundamentals of biotech and entrepreneurship that could be considered theoretical.
• Positive aspects of the course include industry-level training, world-class faculty members and highly adept teaching resources to learn from. Negative aspects of the course include (this could be specific to my case): not being able to find a full-time opportunity in biotech/bioinformatics, even after graduation due to COVID-19 hitting and also a lack of H1-B visa sponsors. Job attainment after graduation was a turmoil, to say the least.
• For each semester, I was enrolled in 2-3 courses that accredited to at least 8 points.

• Tuition: 24.82 Lakhs , hostel (I lived outside , so I paid around 850 dollars)
• Semester-wise. It is 32 credits.It cost around 6.21 lakhs per semester.
• Monthly expenses came to around 800-1000 USD. Rent: 600 USD/month; Transport: Used Northeastern's RedEye services.
• Regular expenses, i.e., groceries and other utilities, 80–160 USD/month.

Pretty good curriculum and opportunities for data-ML related courses. Software courses are good and up to date but limited in number. Faculty is very approachable and always ready to help. Some online courses like Algorithms or Cloud Computing are not totally worth the money because they are more of self learning subjects with pre-recorded lectures/ videos.

Overall it will go till $60,000 including health insurance, miscellaneous fees etc.

The curriculum at NEU is very industry oriented with most of the courses having real world projects to implement.

The total tuition fees for MS CS is around $54K for two years.

The course syllabus is excellent and updated but some courses are quite heavy and require good programming knowledge and hardwork.

Approximately 50000$

Course curriculum is decent and demanding. You will have to do work yourself to score good grades. Yes few subjects are designed to give a industrial view of things. You can opt to select research oriented courses if required.

It is 1652 per credit. Total credits are 32. So you pay 32 X 1652 = 52684 USD plus some extra stuff like health plan, etc. You can consider it roughly 58k USD for entire course.
