Course Curriculum

8

  • Courses are really good and help the students to do a lot of presentations.
  • Industrial experience is not too much. We have to be doing certifications and projects that are not involved in classes.
  • 3 classes max might be scheduled, but we have the flexibility to change that in the 2nd semester.
  • The average number of students would be around 30 per class.

Admission Experience

  • The main factors are the affordable tuition fees and the living costs in Cleveland.
  • It's easy to make a living while we are students.
  • The climate is gonna be very bad in winter, so any student accepting the offer should be ready to face the snow and cold weather for 6 months.

Faculty

6

  • Faculties are good. Ahmed Hassan and Ifthikar would be my standout professors.

Campus Life

10

  • A variety of clubs and extracurricular activities are available, and it depends on the student to go an extra step to get themselves enrolled.
  • Infrastructure is top-notch and safe in every building, along with the library and huge REC center.

Part Time Jobs

  • It's the best-known place of on-campus part-time opportunities for many students. RA, TA could also be obtained through referrals and by actively working with professors.

Placement

4

  • Accounting, Mechanical, and Biomedical have opportunities for internships and placements, but technical degrees would require the student to actively search for 3 months before graduating or move to a different location.
  • Networking is the best chance to get offers through online job portals.

Accommodation

Off Campus
10

  • 1st semester would be on campus apartments. Later, you can move out and take an apartment with your friends. Monthly rent would be around 1500$ for a 2 bhk.

Exams

  • LOR, IELTS, and CV are enough to apply.
  • Duolingo is accepted, but I would prefer IELTS as it's recognized everywhere.
  • IELTS Mandatory. A score above 7 is enough.
  • GRE is required for technical courses.

Fees

  • 47,000$ for 2 years of MS in Information Systems
