CSgeek Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Hi Everyone, I would really love your opinions on my admits as I have to make a decision soon and am unsure of which to choose. Here are my admits with total costs: Carnegie Mellon University (INI) - MS Information Security Technology and Management - $48,000 or $68,000 depending on when you finish. (12k scholarship) SUNY Stony Brook : MS Computer Science - $23,000 University of Southern California : MS Computer Science - $37,500 (5k scholarship) I am not too interested in research or pursuing a PhD so I am mainly concerned about getting a job afterwards. CMU's program is top notch but I am not sure if it is worth the cost. I am leaning towards Stony Brook since it is so cheap and a great program. I would appreciate some advice on this. Good luck to everyone this season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecasickle Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 What sub-area are you interested in at Computer Science? Stony Brook has really good faculty if you want to specialize in Computer Vision! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSgeek Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Hi, thanks for the response. I am not completely sure about which area to specialize in but I am mostly interested in Systems and Software Engineering. CMU is famous for their courses in systems but I am unsure if this would justify the high cost. Do you have any input on these sub-areas at Stony Brook?
