University of Texas Dallas Courses and Fees 2025

• The MS in CS curriculum at UT Dallas is described as a mix of theoretical and practical learning, with a strong emphasis on foundational concepts like algorithms and data structures, alongside applied programming and software development

• Strong industry connections with companies like Texas Instruments, JP Morgan, and AT&T ensure good placement prospects and Some professors are highly theoretical or lack engagement, making lectures less effective.

• The semester fee for the MS in CS program at UT Dallas was approximately $16,000+.
• Fees is charged on a semester-wise basis (you can pay via credit card, wire transfer or EZ Pay).
• Living expenses, including rent, utilities, and groceries, averaged $800/month, but eating out could increase costs or additional personal expenses could raise the overall cost of living significantly.

The curriculum has fundamental topics such as algorithms, data structures, AI and machine learning while advanced electives are also provided on cloud computing, cybersecurity and software engineering. The program emphasizes practical experience via projects, hackathons and coding challenges enabling students to gain exposure to real-world problems. I’m interested in machine learning and cloud computing.

10k for locals per semester and 20-30k for international students.

The course syllabus is good. Only bad thing I faced is that Master students in Erik Jonsson school do not get opportunity for TA positions and it is reserved for only PHD students. But, in JSOM, I have heard this semester they gave out 300 TA positions.

For a single 3 credit course : $5,800 So, my course is 33 credits therefore: approx $64,000 (Non-resident fee).

The course is updated and relevant to the outside prevailing situation.

Per semester it costs me 16,606$.

Very relevant. Due to its flexibility, we can choose what interests us. Most students choose Data Science track by default as it is relatively easy to do. I chose computer systems track. It is due to my interest and has a promising place next 10 years.

1 course - 3 credits 12 courses(min) to complete the degree requirement. Each course enrollment costs $5500( this might slightly increase in future depending on the time of enrollment) Minimum of 2 courses should be enrolled in each semester. Maximum of 6 can be enrolled ( but academic advisors usually allow 3 or max 4). 1500$ health insurance is mandatory ( per semester) So total of 17000$ per semester ( 3 courses + health insurance) Most students choose off campus housing. Per month expenses (including Water/Electricity/WiFi etc) comes around 550$ ±50 We have a bus facility to reach the campus and comeback ( at 15 mins & 30 mins frequency free) for most off campus housings.
