Special Student Option

Students taking courses on Special Student Status can apply up to 12 semester-hour credits towards the MS Biotechnology Program. Once 12 credits have been earned, a student must apply to and be accepted into the program before any further courses will count towards the degree. Special students are advised to avoid research-oriented courses that may not transfer to other programs.

Special students are not eligible to enroll in the following courses: Biotechnology Applications Laboratory (INTG245) and Business of Biotechnology (MGTG219). Special students are not allowed to enroll in an elective or required course from the specialized tracks without permission of a faculty advisor.

For information on how to apply for special student status, contact the Bouvé College Graduate Admissions Office at 617-373-2708 or go to http://www.northeastern.edu/bouve/gradstudent/special.html. In addition to filling out a form, applicants must submit a US$50 processing payment and a transcript showing completion of an undergraduate degree. The complete package should be sent to:
