I am trying to make a decision between a MS in UC Berkeley and MEng in MIT.
Both programs have similar tuition and are 8 month programs.
I am thinking of doing geotechnical engineering and maybe with focus on earthquake and I am interested in working in the states or international in the future.
I know Berkeley has strong earthquake programs, but the wow factor with MIT is making the decision very different for me.
Since I am interested in working overseas, I feel the name associated with MIT is also a considering factor.
Could you guys give me some insights regarding the job prospects from both schools and whether if Berkeley is also a recognizable brand internationally?
Thanks a bunch!
