Course Curriculum

8

  • If you have 3 subjects in a semester, you'll typically have 4-5 classes in a week. Each class is 2-2.30 long.
  • 50% of these classes would be online.

Admission Experience

  • Climate, Affordability, and coursework are the main factors I considered.
  • GRE 317, TOEFL 8.2, I believe. It was a long time ago. Things might've changed.

Faculty

8

  • Not bad. There is a good amount of staff. Some professors provide you with much-needed practical training.

Campus Life

10

  • There are a large number of clubs, events, and facilities available. You can make the most of it if you are interested.

Part Time Jobs

  • On-campus part-time jobs offer 12-14$. Some Jobs like TA, GA offer Fees Reimbursement, though competition would be high for these. Max allowed hours are 20 hours a week

Placement

6

  • The university brings recruiters to the Career fairs. But it's not very useful for international students. Some students do find it useful.

Accommodation

Off Campus
10

  • Rent for a 3 BHK Flat is typically 3000 USD a month. If 6 people share it'd be 500 each; that's generally the case (8-9 people also live in many cases). Other Utilities would be 200 $. Miscellaneous expenses would be 200-300 USD a month

Exams

  • GRE, TOEFL are needed.
  • Also, SOP, LOR, and CV would be needed. The university offers assistance in a few cases.

Fees

  • 40k for a master's program in general. you can complete it in 1 year if you want to. people do it in 18 months.
