Academic Programs

Program Overview

The certificate program covers blockchain platforms that bring about transparency and trust to all participants in complex multiparty relationships, such as Ethereum. The implication is tremendous—from new currency and incentive systems to faster, less expensive, and more-efficient transactions of all kinds, to banking and healthcare. You’ll have an opportunity to learn how blockchain platforms and their underlying trust models will impact the future of legally binding, multiparty contracts. You’ll also have an opportunity to learn how crypto-engineering techniques can be used to create digital trust fabrics and safely facilitate the movement of any transaction.

Experiential Learning

Northeastern combines rigorous academics with experiential learning and research to prepare students for real-world engineering challenges. The cooperative education program, also known as co-op, is one of the largest and most innovative in the world, and Northeastern is one of only a few that offers a co-op program for graduate students. Through this program, students gain up to eight months of professional experience employed in their field of interest as part of the academic curriculum, giving them a competitive edge upon graduation.

The College of Engineering has more than 2,000 co-op employer partners globally. Our dedicated team of co-op coordinators prepare students for the co-op experience through resumé building, developing interview skills, and guiding professional development.
