YOU ARE BOUVÉ
Northeastern’s PlusOne Program offers motivated students the opportunity to start earning a master’s degree while completing their undergraduate coursework. You can take four to five graduate courses (max. 16 credits) as part of your undergraduate degree and also count these towards your master’s. This shortens the completion time for a master’s degree to (usually) one additional year. For a list of courses that can be “double-counted” this way, click here.
Please refer to the Registrar’s PlusOne Curriculum page for the most current information.
Starting as early as their sophomore year, interested students should begin speaking with their academic advisor to evaluate options and start planning.
Work with your primary undergraduate academic advisor to complete the PlusOne Program Course Review Form. Once the form has been signed by your academic advisor, you will need to attach it to your application in order to submit.
To begin your application please complete this inquiry form, which will create your initial application profile. Once this is submitted, you will receive an email notification from the system to set up your account, and be directed to your PlusOne application to complete and submit.
During the last term of your undergraduate program, please reach out to [email protected].
This below shows the PlusOne programs available to Bouvé students, with the undergraduate majors eligible to become PlusOnes, and the graduate courses that can be “double-counted” toward your PlusOne degree. To determine which courses are eligible for your PlusOne Pathway, find your intended graduate degree and then look for your current undergraduate major.
Where fewer than four courses are listed, the remaining courses will be determined on the basis of the student’s program in consultation with the graduate and undergraduate advisors.
*In Bouve many courses are 3 credits each so students may take up to five courses (15 credits) and still double-count them in the PlusOne Pathway.
