sanchitag Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Hello I have been accepted in Masters of Intelligent Information Systems (MIIS) at CMU. The difficult part is there is no any funding and the fess to way too high. Another thing in mind is that it is a professional masters course and not regular masters. I sort of got some advice that professional is not as good as regular masters. Thus, Is it worth spending this high amount, given that it is just professional masters ? Anyone else in dilemma ? reverie003 1
jamiecallan Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Professional MS degrees vary in their orientation and quality. You must consider each program individually. Students in the MIIS degree take the same courses as students in CMU's research-oriented MLT and PhD degrees. They are advised by the same faculty. The distribution of GPAs for MIIS and MLT students are very similar. It is just as difficult to get into the MIIS degree as it is to get into the MLT degree. The LTI is very serious about providing a professional MIIS degree that is just as good as its research-oriented MLT degree. You can find out how the first cohort of MIIS students did on our web page (http://www.lti.cs.cmu.edu/miis/graduates). Best wishes with your decisions.

Hello Prof. Callan, Is the class size for the program increased this year compared to the very low figures last 2 years?
