Working Adult Master’s in Engineering Management As a busy working adult, I decided to finish my master’s degree here. The program was flexible to my schedule and I felt that I got a lot out of it. All of the assignments centered around working as a team for my program, Engineering Management. The only suggestion I can make is to have a stronger alumni network for job placement. Lucky for me, I was able to leverage my degree for a significant salary increase with another company.

Current student I have been attending NU for the past six months. The staff is friendly and helpful. I have enjoyed my professors but find it hard that they do not follow the same class structure. If the curriculum/expectations followed a designated outline, each class would be easier to follow. Highly recommend the monthly semesters, but be prepared to work hard as this program style is accelerated.

The courses were very flexible and the… The courses were very flexible and the curriculum was very relevant. My only critique would be that the quality of professors vary. Some are clearly passionate about teaching and their discipline. Others are focused on managing the class rather than teaching the class.

Waste of my time The only reason they even get a single star is because the professors are amazing. Education wise, all great. On-boarding, financing, admissions, all non-existent. I put in 10 calls to maybe get one returned a week later. Do more then take my money or don’t claim yourself service or concierge because the staff is neither! -10 experience. In the 8 weeks i gave them to onboard, the last 2 i shared with Cal State…which had me set up in 2 afternoons.

My Experience... When I first registered for classes and during my first couple of classes it was an amazing experience. I loved my professors Dr. Johnson, and Dr. Bazan-Shipp, they were awesome! However, there were a few professors that made my experience drop. It was hard to believe that professors had no idea what was on the Brightspace app. and were given different information making us work on things we shouldn't. Then, finding out that the Praxis exam is a NU requirement and not all universities, I personally think that extra stress added to what we already had is unnecessary. (Sorry, that's how I feel)
