anyone familiar with NEU's align (MSCS)?

Hello Folks

I have no CS background, and I am currently taking some CS undergraduate courses. Hopefully I can get into a MS in CS program next year.

However, I just discovered a program that seems to be prepared for graduates with no CS background.

I wonder if anyone here is experienced with NEU's Align or similar programs (not a lot, but some)

How is this program?

Is the training you have received sufficient for you to land a tech job?

Any random thought is also fine.

I met someone who quitted his PhD of other major and started this Align program of CS. He landed two internships in Amazon and Facebook. He went to the Seattle campus.

NEU has been popular due to their co-op program, which you might ask the school for more details.

Thank you a lot man, I will be working on my application.

The Align program is thriving in Seattle, and also on other NU campus locations. I'm the Director in Seattle so can answer questions - hopefully with minimal bias :).

I'm also writing about our Seattle campus and MSCS Align program on LinkedIn.
