Questions about this program
What does the share of awards mean?
Computer Engineering accounts for 7.8% of the awards or completions reported for Northeastern University. That award concentration is higher than at 98% of schools in this field set and is 6.7x the national average award concentration. It does not estimate how many students are currently enrolled in the program.
How should I read the cost number?
Northeastern University's average net price is $30,915 per year, about $123,660 over four years. That is $10,252 above the $20,663 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $92,538 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $29,561 above the $62,977 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
Start with award concentration, net price after aid, graduation rate, location, and whether the department publishes placement or licensure outcomes. EduGradify places Northeastern University #198 of 349 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
