Bouvé College of Health Sciences
Online MS in Health Data Analytics
How to join
The Online MS in Health Data Analytics offers multiple ways to join:
Fast App (Performance-Based Admissions)
Performance-Based Admissions (PBA) offers a streamlined pathway into Northeastern’s Online MS in Health Data Analytics. Instead of a traditional application, you'll demonstrate your readiness by completing two “pathway courses” drawn directly from the degree curriculum. Students who earn a grade of B or higher in both courses are officially admitted into the program, receive an acceptance letter from Northeastern, and become eligible for financial aid. Credits earned during your pathway courses are automatically applied to your degree upon successful completion of the PBA pathway.
Standard graduate application
You can also apply to the Online MS in Health Data Analytics through Northeastern’s standard graduate application. Students admitted from the standard application are fully matriculated from their first term.

If your company provides an employer tuition benefit:
Connect with your employer to see if Performance-Based Admissions will be accepted for tuition reimbursement. Some employers may require an official offer letter to deploy benefits. Northeastern can provide an enrollment letter upon request.
If you are a Northeastern faculty or staff member:
Northeastern faculty and staff will not be eligible to utilize their employer tuition benefit until they matriculate to a degree student. If you need the tuition benefit to fund your degree from the onset, we encourage you to apply as a traditional admit.
If you will require financial aid for the entire program:
Performance-Based Admissions learners are not eligible for Federal Financial Aid in the form of loans until they matriculate to a degree student. If you need financial aid to fund your degree from the onset, we encourage you to apply as a traditional admit.
If you received your bachelor’s degree outside of the United States:
Your transcripts may need additional review to matriculate into the program. International students are recommended to apply using the standard graduate application process to ensure transcripts are admissible for graduate admissions before starting the program.
Two ways to join:
International applicants
International students are encouraged to apply using the Standard Application (not the Fast App) to ensure transcript verification before starting the program.
