Master of Science in Information Systems–Bridge

The Master of Science in Information Systems–Bridge is offered by Northeastern University's Toronto campus as a pathway for students with non-STEM or nontechnical bachelor's degrees to build the skills needed to enter the information systems field. No prior programming background, precalculus, or calculus coursework is required to be admitted. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on learning tailored to students without a technical foundation, requires 40 semester hours to graduate, and can be completed full time or part time. Students may also complete up to eight months of professional experience through Northeastern's cooperative education program. Admission requires an online application, two letters of recommendation, unofficial transcripts from all institutions in which a bachelor's degree or higher was earned, a statement of purpose, and a resume, along with proof of English-language proficiency. New students are admitted in the Fall and Spring terms.
