Hey everyone, I'm considering applying to Northeastern University and I'm still undecided on my major. Does anyone know what the most popular or well-respected majors are over there? Thanks a bunch!

Hi there! Many majors at Northeastern University are popular and well-respected, with an emphasis on the experiential learning model Northeastern is known for.

To start, their Khoury College of Computer Sciences is highly regarded and attracts many students each year. Programs such as Computer Science, Data Science, and Cybersecurity draw many students because of the college's high-caliber faculty, innovative curriculum, and the strong tech industry connections Northeastern has in Boston and Silicon Valley. Take a look at Khoury's website here: https://www.khoury.northeastern.edu/.

Next, the D'Amore-McKim School of Business has a strong reputation, particularly the majors of Finance and Business Administration. These programs offer robust coursework along with unique cooperative education opportunities, which allow students to gain valuable real-world experience alongside their studies. You can explore D'Amore-McKim on their dedicated website as well: https://damore-mckim.northeastern.edu/.

The Bouvé College of Health Sciences also stands as one of the top health sciences schools in the country. Majors such as Nursing, Health Science, and Pharmacy draw students interested in healthcare. Northeastern's emphasis on experiential learning, and close ties to top medical facilities in Boston allows students to gain practical hands-on experience. You can learn more about Bouvé's offerings here: https://bouve.northeastern.edu/.

Additionally, the College of Engineering is highly respected with majors like Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Electrical and Computer Engineering having a good reputation and high student enrollment. Of course, the College of Engineering has a website too, with much more detail than I can provide here: https://coe.northeastern.edu/.

However, these are just some examples. Northeastern prides itself on its comprehensive offerings and experiential learning approach. It's a good idea to review Northeastern's academic offerings and consider your interests and career goals when choosing a major.
