PhD at University of Georgia,Athens or University of Cincinnati?


Recommended Posts

Hello, I am international student and I will be pursuing my PhD in USA from this fall semester. I was hoping that someone can give me a clear idea about my dilemma:
Got Admitted into:
1. PhD in Computer Science at University of Georgia, Athens
2. PhD in Computer Science and Engineering at University of Cincinnati, Ohio

Scholarship amount offered:
1. UGA - $12,193 (Teaching assistantship, Tuition waived but have to pay room and board,health insurance, tax with this amount per year, minimum 12 credit hr/ semester[not year], 13 hr work week)

2. UC- $43,036(Scholarship[$20,936] and teaching/graduate assistantship[$22,100], Tution to be paid/year=$8000, offer includes health insurance but excludes room and board,tax , minimum 15 credit hr/year, 20 hr work week )

At which university should I pursue my PhD? Which program is better, CS or CSE?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Pay wise, you're looking at about the same amount to work with in either location. It really comes down to a research fit. Which professors are doing research you are interested in?

 

FWIW, I wouldn't worry too much about the minimum number of credit hours required. A lot of those credits will come from research units, not actual courses.
