University of Central Florida (UCF) Courses and Fees 2025

• Data Analytics program is updated with latest curriculum, professors also teach new topics, tools and tech which are being used by major industries, they also introduced AI in their latest curriculum. 
• For industrial exposure it is necessary to build connections with professors and PHD students which would help to get research and industry experience. 2 classes per day, one was 12 pm to 3pm and other was from 6 to 9 pm. My class had 30 students. 

• Total tuition fees for me was 36000 dollars , excluding living expenses.

• The course curriculum is super good. There are few courses like Software Engineering, Design and Analysis of Algorithms where you'll apply your knowledge and gain valuable insights.
• There are also few courses which you mostly get nothing out of it unless you put a special attention to learn.

• For our term, it's a total of 36K USD for the entire 2 year course. You can try for scholarships by applying to GRA positions but the chances of getting selected are pretty low.

Course syllabus is advanced and include new technologies and methodologies. Professors are well-versed and have the required subject knowledge. I had a work experience of 2.5 years in India in the IT field as a Software Engineer/Analyst, which helped me expose myself to the corporate world and learn a lot. This perhaps accelerated my learning in UCF and thereby, created more space to further gain knowledge.

The per credit cost is specified in the website as $1,194.05. Now, my program is MS so I'm supposed to take 30 credit hours in total. Thus, the total tuition cost for me is $35,826.

Courses are well designed. Industrial exposure is not to the extent of my expectation (location plays a great role in this) However, you have to structure your course plan which has certain rules for the way you can structure it. Rest everything is flexible.

For MS in CS, one has to take 30 credit hours in total, with a minimum of 9 Credit hours and a maximum of 12 credit hours per semester. Each credit hour costs 1300$. So total tuition fee for 30 credit hours would be 39,000$
