- My coursework was a perfect blend of technical and non-technical subjects, providing students options with various fields to choose their careers in including project management, Business Analysis, product management, Data analysis, Data engineering and even SDE.
Course Curriculum:
The course curriculum is one of the best when it comes to colleges offering Information Systems in the USA. It is very well planned 16 month program such that it prepares you for the internship and full-time hunt.
Fees:
The total tuition fee for my course was around 64,000$ back in fall 2021. This was just the tuition fees for the course which had 30 credits. In addition to that you have to take care of the other expenses such as rent, groceries, insurance etc. The fees now would be somewhere between 60 K- 70 K $.

Fees:
65000
- Likes:
- Because it has an amazing CS program and has a great location.,
- Everything over here is amazing, from the food to the people, but the best thing is the academics. I really like how professors are so friendly and easy to approach.
- Dislikes:
- I don't dislike anything in particular about my college, but the one thing that could use some improvement is the construction that takes place around campus. There's always some kind of construction going on around campus which can get annoying at times.

- Dislikes:
- The courses can be a little more technical and cover more advanced concepts like Cloud Computing and System Design, Pipeline Management. Adding these topics in their courses will help the students to actually gain skills that are more relevant to their actual work once if their domain is Data oriented. However, with the MIM Program at iSchool where I studied, I had the flexibility to easily learn these concepts from other schools like the prestine Iribe School for CS.
Course Curriculum:
The course was pretty updated with the high-level concepts covered but not more so in-depth.
Fees:
14000 USD
- Likes:
- The Robotics program at UMD is one of the top in the US. The fees was also major factor in the decision to study at UMD. The faculty is very good as well as the choice of courses is very appropriate and in accordance with the industry standards.,
- The University has a very reasonable tuition fee for MEngg programs considering it is also know as a “public ivy” because of its rank and reputation. The campus resources are abundant and free to use, ensuring a very active and good work life balance. The Engineering departments in particular have some of the most advanced labs and resources that might not be the case with some of the other universities in the area.
- Dislikes:
- The diversity in some of the programs is quite less. There are many South Asian students in Engineering programs so does not feel like an international program. The nearby areas like Baltimore are notorious for a high crime rate so a precautions are needed if you are going there.
Course Curriculum:
The curriculum is very relevant to the current industry standards. The M.Eng program is not a research-based degree so no research is part of the curriculum but there are plenty of research opportunities for those who are interested. The academics are quite rigorous, with lots of projects and assignments that impart practical as well as theoretical knowledge.
Fees:
The tuition fee is approximately $1065 per credit hour and you need to complete 30 credit hours for the degree so comes roughly to $35000 for the applied engineering department degrees. Apart from this if you are a graduate student you will be probably spending 900 - 1000 USD per month for living expenses.
