I was an international student, graduated from northeastern from college of engineering from information systems program. My experience has been that the program is bloating at a very rapid rate with so many students in a graduate program. The number of students has been doubling every Fall for the past 4 years(as I came to know from my seniors and juniors). I came to know that the current strength of the program is about 1500 which, for a graduate program and for the amount of resources provided, is way too much. This reduces the quality of education. The director of the program, Kal Bugrara, isn t available to address student issues other than some time before and after his lectures. His course material (Program Structure and Algorithms) is plagiarized from Stanford university s course material and passed on as his own.
My suggestions to program is to accept less students and increase the quality of education. The only reason to join this graduate degree is the co-op program which might be helpful in finding a full-time job.
