University program selection

Question

Hi everyone! Please help me choose between-
NEU Boston Software Engineering Systems or NEU Boston Information systems. I really like the Software Engineering systems coursework but I observed that a lot of people don’t prefer it and go for IS.

Hi,

I would highly suggest you pick the school's coursework that suits your goals and interests. Check which program is flexible and allows you to choose electives you desire.

NEU SES will be a better choice as it is pretty focused in terms of its coursework and goals. The output of the program seems pretty clear and if your interest is in tech, software engineering in particular then I would definitely suggest you to go for NEU SES.

If you want to keep your options open and also want to apply to data related positions then NEU MIS seems like a good choice. Most of the grads from these programs work in all sorts of role be in tech business or product.

Do a proper SWOT analysis and make a decision.

I am admitted to Software Engineering Systems and I also had the same doubt. I saw the curriculum and found that core subjects are different rest electives are same. I have talked to seniors and got a positive response for software systems. MS IS is best suited for people who want to explore the management side with not that hard core coding.
