There are only couple of mandatory courses that you have to finish and the rest all are electives. So there are a very wide range of courses to chose from for electives and students pick courses based on their interests. Some courses like Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence have a very high demand and hundreds of students take them and there are new courses that are introduced every semester based on new technologies in the industry. Overall I think there are lot of good courses.
Fees:
Tuition fee is credit based and it changes every semester. When I studied, it was between 1950-200$ per credit and you had to finish 28 credits to get a degree in Computer Science and 32 credits if you are doing a specialization. 28*2000 = 56,000 USD You can find the current credit fee at - https://viterbigradadmission.usc.edu/programs/masters/tuition-funding/tuition-funding-masters/

Course Curriculum:
The course curriculum is very impressive. I never knew I will appreciate studying a course in depth so much but the way the courses are structured, the assignments, the examinations, everything makes you learn the material very easily and thoroughly. You will be able to retain the studied material for a much longer time because you are forced to understand the topics instead of a rote mode of learning.
Fees:
The total tuition fee is approximately $66,000.
