Did UCSD undergrad in other department; however, UCSD CS is THE most sought after major at UCSD and has university's full support. Needless to say how good the program is. Go UCSD

Hello, I have been creeping on this thread for a while, and I think it is about time to post my question and share my stats.

Is there anyone who knows well about University of Rochester's MSDS program?

Seems like it is a good program, yet I am little bit concerned by its location and possible job opportunities for internationals. 

FYI, as you will see from my stats, I had a great deal of experience in neuroscience yet decided to discontinue studying neuro

and pursue career in data science.
