Northeastern University’s Galante Engineering Business Certificate offers a progressive opportunity for engineering students to complement their technical engineering education with business skills. Galante is founded on the values of student engagement and leadership to strengthen interpersonal and professional skills. Programmatic elements are offered to students such as workshops, speaker series, site visits, seminars, and other related personal and professional development activities as a connected cohort.
Part-Time
Northeastern’s Galante Engineering Business program offers a progressive, multidegree opportunity for engineering students to complement their technical engineering education with business skills. The result is the potential for a three-degree program in which students leverage courses across BS, MS, and MBA curricula to achieve a unique set of technical, engineering management, and business skills while earning a certificate and potentially three degrees (BS/MS/MBA) from Northeastern University.
Program participants will also benefit from regular access to and participation in specially designed programmatic elements such as workshops, speaker series, site visits, seminars, and other related personal and professional development activities as a connected cohort. Each participant creates an individualized personal development plan to combine available programmatic elements into a unique co-curricular set of activities to complement coursework. Because of the co-curricular programmatic elements, this program is intended for full-time on-campus students.
This program is offered only to Northeastern University undergraduate students.

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 the co-op program for graduate students pursuing an MS or PhD. Through this program, students gain professional industry experience in their field of interest as part of the academic curriculum while employed from four to eight months in a wide variety of organizations, from large companies to entrepreneurial start-ups.
In 2019, the Graduate School of Engineering placed nearly 1000 students in co-op positions. We have a team that prepares students for the cooperative education experience through resumé building, developing interview skills, and guiding professional development.
