- It is a comparatively safe university to get in - especially if you have previous professional experience. I had 3 years of work experience as a Software Engineer back in India and hence, I like the idea of a professional masters rather than a Thesis Based one. As mentioned before, the CS program here is specifically designed for people who come from non-CS backgrounds and hence, I found it to be best suited to my needs.,
- University of Chicago is one of the oldest and most popular universities in the United States. It is well known for its physical sciences, computer science, management (Booth School) and public-policy programs.,
- It is known for a lot of inter-disciplinary programs and research - and especially for computer science - it is a well-known university and one of the rare few, which gives non-CS students an opportunity to pursue Masters in Computer Science.,
- On the fun end, the University campus has the closest resemblance to Hogwarts (Harry Potter School) amongst all the universities in the United States.
- Dislikes:
- The professional masters programs can be quite heavy on the pocket since it is a private school. Teaching assistant roles are offered to students but these roles are very few and they provide a stipend but do not waive off part of your tuition fees (which many other universities in US do).
Course Curriculum:
The course curriculum is quite relevant as its a professional program. Most of the professors are either researchers in their domain or at major positions in big software companies of the world - and hence they make sure to provide the latest updated knowledge of their field. For example - few of the Professors are associated with Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago which is proud to host the world's next biggest supercomputer (Aurora) Also, one of our Profs for C++ is on the standards committee for C++ and he did teach us about things that are currently under review for C++ 23 even before the language is released.
Fees:
The total Tuition fee for a 12 course Masters Program in Computer Science is about 80,000 USD.
- Likes:
- The teaching process is very interactive and professors are very friendly.,
- The university provides lot of study resources to the students.,
- It also provides a lot of commuting facilities to the students.,
- The university has a very good brand value as it stands in Top 10 universities in the world.
- Dislikes:
- The quarter system makes the curriculum a bit hectic.,
- Three courses are to be completed within a span of 10 weeks which make it difficult for professors to cover all the topics and students to learn them.,
- But professors make great effort to complete all the topics. There are quite less career fairs to support students in their job hunt process.,
- The course fees is on the higher side. No scholarship is provided.
Course Curriculum:
The course content is updated except for ML track.
Its an overall good experience to study at University of Chicago but one should consider the university fees before taking a call to join the university. Because of the university ranking and teaching curriculum which has good reviews from previous students.
Course Curriculum:
It is a very research oriented curriculum. You have to take a lot of core classes ranging from Biology to Visual Art alongside your Major classes (in my case Economics). Every class requires 100% effort and is not going to be an “easy A” as many core classes at other colleges are. There is no industrial exposure like co-ops per se, but employers are always looking to hire UChicago grads. if someone is interested in a phd or research in general- it’s the perfect university as the best academics teach here and research opportunities are all around.
Ranking and culture both appealed to me when i was choosing. it was the top school in economics and the people i spoke to seemed very intelligent and interesting.
Course Curriculum:
I really like it but I feel like it could be more inclusive. The first year of the law program can be overwhelming but overall it?s quite enjoyable. Chicago definitely takes an economic approach to the law, which is daunting at first, but you get used to it.
Fees:
Normal tuition charges. I don't recall any other specific charges. There are some student life charges but I guess that goes to food and events.
