M.P.H from University Of Cincinnati [UC], Cincinnati - Fees & Admission Details 2025

• The academics are really great in our university and the difficulty of course curriculum I would rate it as medium.
• The students should take courses based on the professors, there are professors who are very strict while grading the assignments. So, students should make sure they select the professors who are friendly for their courses. Students should take advise from seniors. 

• The Fees structure was around 30 lakhs in INR. It would be around 26k to 27k USD. In the I20, it is mentioned to carry around 50 lakhs in INR. But the fees including the health insurance issued by the university would charge around 27k USD for the student, the student can also bag a part time on campus for his monthly expenses.
• I had a scholarship of 6240 USD for my first year of the course. This scholarship is split between the two semesters of the first year in my university.

• The difficulty level of the course curriculum is dependent on the faculty. It is a mix of both theory and practical and often there is a final project that can be published in conferences. Very interactive and research-oriented approach in general. Also, collaboration is a big theme. 
• The average number of students in my class were around 7-10 (not everyone takes all classes)
• Indian students are enrolled in my course around 3-5 (PhD Aerospace)

• Fees is around $11k per semester but most students get a scholarship reducing it to $3k per semester. Monthly expenses can easily be between 1000-1500 primarily because a private room in a 2bhk costs around $800 in a decent location/building.
• Food/drinks/groceries can be $200-300. Transportation is free around campus using university shuttle service. But anywhere else is $10 minimum via cab. Bus network isn't the best.

• My course’s curriculum was challenging at times but was very engaging. It offered a balance of theory and practical learning, with the main emphasis being on real-world experience. The faculty were experienced, friendly, and always willing to help. There was also a lot of flexibility in choosing electives, allowing students to focus on subjects that matched their career goals. The course curriculum was well-designed and offered real-world experiences in classrooms.
• Some semesters were overwhelming because of multiple deadlines for projects, assignments, and exams. Not all electives or advanced courses were available every semester, so planning ahead was important. Another challenge was working on group projects with international students; the time zone differences made it a little difficult.
• Typically, there were one or two classes, for 1.5–3 hour classes each day. The majority of classes took place from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Class numbers vary by subject, with core classes having 25–40 students and electives having 15-20 students. The majority of the students in my program were Indian, comprising between 40 and 50 percent of the class.

• Since the last two years, the US job market condition is not so good. These days it is quite difficult to secure full-time job. I have seen students who got job after 1 year also. Overall I can say that about 40-50% of students would get full-time within 6 months of graduation.
• The average salary range is 110k-170k for students graduating from my program .It varies from company to company, job role , salaries ranges are different for Data Analyst, Data Scientist, Data Engineer and students experience also.
• Students usually find jobs after graduation through LinkedIn. Reaching out to recruiters, making connections, applying on company portal.

• The difficulty level of the Computer Science curriculum at the University of Cincinnati is generally considered challenging but rewarding. The program strikes a balance between theoretical knowledge and practical application, ensuring students develop a strong foundation in algorithms, data structures, and programming languages, while also gaining hands-on experience through projects, coding assignments, and internships. The mix of theory and practice allows students to build critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are essential for real-world applications in the tech industry.
• Positive Aspects: Hands-on Learning: The curriculum is designed with practical exposure in mind, with a strong focus on lab sessions, project work, and coding challenges. This gives students a chance to work on real-world problems.
• Industry Connections: The program’s partnership with local tech companies offers opportunities for internships, co-ops, and networking, which helps bridge the gap between academics and industry.
• Supportive Faculty: Professors are often approachable and provide additional support outside of class through office hours and mentorship.
• Negative Aspects: Heavy Workload: The workload can be intense, especially during core courses that involve complex programming assignments and projects. Time management becomes crucial.
• Pace of Coursework: At times, the pace of the program can be overwhelming for students, especially when balancing multiple challenging subjects in one semester.
