gforce Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Assuming that you've applied to the MS-CS program, I would rank the univs. in the following order: SUNY-SB/Univ. of Utah, VTech/NCSU, TAMU, UIC, SUNY-B Others might present different opinions.

skremon Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Utah CS decisions should be out, check your online application (i got dinged!), i'm still waiting for Stony Brook and UMBC. IMO US 2 year MS degrees are much better than UK, most of which are 1-1.5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gforce Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 IMO US 2 year MS degrees are much better than UK, most of which are 1-1.5 years. Any specific reason why 2 year degrees are better than degrees with course lengths less than 2 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skremon Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Sorry i shouldn't have said that without learning much about UK CS degrees, but i've searched some universities in my areas of preference and they were 1 year course based degrees without a thesis. Old UK degrees used to be 3 years BS and 1 Year MS (equivalent to 4 year BS in US), i don't know if they have changed it or not. But if the UK MS level degrees are like complements of BS degrees i think the US standard is must better for Masters level. One more thing i have learned from some of my friends on UK, that generally EU students gets preference over other students in getting phd funding, job etc. And on Masters level its hard to manage funds for education for non-EU ppl.
