Course Curriculum
Course was leaning towards Industrial Engineering. Syllabus was mostly upto date. School caters mostly to local part time students, does not have full fledged infrastructure to support large no. of students yet. Industrial and research experience is limited.
Fees
Total Tuition Fee: 55,000 USD for ~30 course credits.
Course Curriculum
I think it prepares us week for the real work field but it can definitely be improved. A lot of classes are useless.
Fees
$27,000 per semester

- Penn State is ranked 20th among US public universities and 42nd overall in the nation. It is also ranked in the top 6% globally among about 1,900 ranked institutions. Besides, the ranking factor there are eminent mathematicians to whom I follow and are my inspiration. It is like a dream come true to learn various areas from the authors of the book itself. My research interests are in Number theory and related topics. And, in Penn State Department of Mathematics there is strong group of number theorists, along with researches in partition theory, combinatorics. Apart from this weekly seminar which brings our attention to variuos great ongoing researches in different parts. Henceforth it fits well and I choose it. null
- Everything, The old main is spectaculous, Patte library to Hub robeson center, Department office and the favourite Berkey creamery has got it all too sweet. null
Dislikes:
- Sometimes, I feel the course is too fast and rigorous. I need more time to understand and finds it difficult to keep up with speed. To conclude, the rigidity and difficulity of the course structure is the key thing which I dislike. There is no other thing which I dislike about my University. The aenvironment, supply of resources, office supplies everything you need is provided. null
Course Curriculum
It's well planned to start a research career. For the start year there is a course work which prepares you for qualifying exam and other basic concepts to be utilised before one starts research.
Fees
I have no idea about the tuition fee, I recieved the tuition waiver. Mostly, students who apply for PhD and got selected in TA category recieve tuition waiver.

- PennState has a strong alumni network, which is useful for networking. It has a highly rated public ivy league and has good ongoing research. I liked the course structure, professors, and the project that was going on. null
Dislikes:
- I think the location of the university a bit of a negative. Its right in between nowhere. Sometimes can be difficult for students to get better opportunities. Having a college in big cities is a big plus because they get better opportunities .
Course Curriculum
The course syllabus is good. I think there are few subjects that can be updated well. The lab components in each course gives enough industrial exposure as to what software and technology is ongoing at present. Research work is mandatory, through thesis or non thesis, and in my belief it gives a detailed understanding of the topic and expertise.
Fees
Its according to the credits you have to take up. It's almost $1500 for one credit. Almost all courses are around 3 credits. 1st sem - 3 courses + 1 credit of colloqium + health insurance = $17,000 2nd sem - 3 courses + 1 cred of colloqium + health insurance = $18,000 (health insurance in the second term is for 8 months so the amount is a bit more than the Fall semester) 3rd sem - I got a tution waver because of Teaching Assistantship so I didnt pay anything this semester. But it would also be about $17K. Last semester - 1 course + health insurance = $8,000 (I was almost done with all requirements of MS so I had to take only 1 course) All in all, if I wouldn't have received a tuition waver, I would have spent around $61K
Course Curriculum
Of course, could always be better, but there's a lot left up to the student to learn or teach themselves. It's pretty good and all the resources are there to learn well, but perhaps more projected oriented guidance could prove beneficial.
Fees
They really try to milk you on fees as much as possible. Everything is a fee on top of the already high cost.
Course Curriculum
It's difficult and rigorous. But it makes the school that much more noteworthy and makes future employers want to hire us. Their weed put courses are almost impossible to pass but that's what you want in those classes.
Fees
It was around $30K a year for tuition with living on campus and about $9-10k less per year living off campus. It's a pricey school but worth the price.
