The Online Learning Advantage
About online learning
Online learning - also known as 'e-learning' or 'distance learning' - is simply taking an on-campus degree program and making it available in an online format via the Internet. Online education is flexible as well as interactive and is the ideal solution for working professionals who want to earn their degree but cannot take time off work to pursue their dream. The quality of education you receive online is identical to that of the same program on campus and lessons are always current and easily applicable to real-world business situations.
Enjoy the advantages of online learning
We understand how important it is to be able to pursue a graduate degree while minimizing the disruption to your professional and personal life. Northeastern University's online MBA program provides you with this opportunity in the form of a highly respected degree delivered in an innovative format. You can learn from the convenience of your home or office, at any time of day that suits you, while maintaining steady communication with faculty and fellow students. And this is just a sample of the many benefits of distance learning.
Flexible scheduling
Online learning is designed for busy professionals like you; you plan your study time around your schedule and work at your own pace. While your instructor outlines the requirements so you know what to expect and how to prepare, the program is based on an innovative, asynchronous model that allows you to continue working while you study.
Accessible resources
All printed materials and text books are conveniently delivered to your home before each course begins. Our online learning resources such as the online library and resource center are available from your desktop 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all year long. Many students report that using the online library is easier and more convenient than visiting a traditional brick-and-mortar library.
Timely responses
You are accustomed to the fast-paced business world and this course follows the same model. With just a click, you can send questions or requests to your professors, small group instructors, fellow students, and program managers. Our faculty and staff will respond in a timely manner.
Intimate classes
We group students into small groups, or cohorts, of 12 to 15 other students with which they progress through the program. This ensures that you are part of an online learning community of your peers that provides support, challenges your knowledge, and encourages debate. The results of this networking opportunity often last throughout your career.
Individual attention
Because the virtual class size is so small, you will receive individual attention from faculty and small group instructors. They are experienced business professionals who understand today's corporate world and are also trained in online instruction. Your small group instructor facilitates the learning community of students engaging in discussions on current issues and case studies. Individual attention and personal attention are two of the keys to a successful online learning experience.
