NU’s COA (and NPC financial aid) appears to be based on 2 semesters but the 4- or 5-year plan of study for the biology major my son wants to pursue shows at least 6 half-semester summer sessions at roughly another $18,000 (tuition, room, board) per half-summer session. That makes a true annual COA almost $100,000. Does NU provide additional financial aid to help with that extra cost?
Unlike at most schools at Northeastern summer sessions are regular academic terms. Two summer sessions equal one semester. Financial aid is applied to those sessions. A student completes 8 semesters less any AP credits earned.
