Hello all,
I am planning to begin graduate studies in CS in Fall 2013, focusing on information systems and analytics. I was admitted to the following programs:
(1) Stanford MSCS - Unfunded
(2) Wisconsin - Funded (50% TA position)
(3) UIUC MCS (Online Program)
My questions are the following:
(1) How does Wisconsin's graduate CS reputation in information systems compare to Stanford?
(2) Do Stanford MSCS students ever receive TA/RA positions after their first quarter? Additionally, do students ever enroll for one semester then get a job with a HCP-employer and convert to the distance-learning option?
(3) How highly regarded is the UIUC Online MCS Program? Do employers generally consider this program equivalent to a MS CS degrees?
Any answers or general advice would be appreciated!!
