The Online Learning Advantage
About Online Learning
Online learning — also known as 'e-learning' or 'distance learning' - is simply taking an on-campus degree program and making it available in an online format via the Internet. Online education is flexible as well as interactive and is the ideal solution for working professionals who want to earn their degree but cannot take time off work to pursue their dream. The quality of education you receive online is identical to that of the same program on campus and lessons are current and easily applicable to real-world business situations.
Enjoy the Advantages of Online Learning
We understand how important it is to be able to pursue a graduate degree while minimizing the disruption to your professional and personal life. Northeastern University's online MST program provides you with this opportunity in the form of a highly respected degree delivered in an innovative format. You can learn from anywhere with an internet connection, at any time of day that suits you, while maintaining steady communication with faculty and fellow students. And this is just a sample of the many benefits of distance learning.
Flexible Learning
The program is based on an innovative, asynchronous model allowing you to integrate course requirements and deliverables into your schedule. Your professors outline the requirements so you know what to expect and how to prepare.
Accessible Resources
All printed materials and text books are conveniently delivered to your home before each course begins. Resources such as the online library and access to current course materials are available from your desktop 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all year long. Many students report that using the online library is easier and more convenient than visiting a traditional brick-and-mortar library.
Timely Responses
With just a click, you can send questions or requests to your professors, small group instructors, fellow students, and program managers. Our faculty and staff will respond in a timely manner.
Intimate Classes
We group students into small sections of less than 20 students. This allows you to be part of an online learning community of peers that provides support, challenges your knowledge, and encourages debate. The results of this opportunity allows you to add fellow students to your network.
Individual Attention
Because the virtual class size is small, you will be able to receive individual attention from faculty and small group instructors. They are experienced academic and business professionals who understand today's corporate world and are also trained in online instruction. Your small group instructor facilitates the learning community of students engaging in discussions on current issues and case studies. Individual attention and personal attention are two of the keys to a successful online learning experience.
