CS MS@UCSB vs CS MS@RICE

[maston14]

International Students, major in CS. Got two admits from UCSB and RICE.

I am still waiting for UCSD, but I think it is a little late already.

My interest areas are database..data mining...sort of things...and I plan to work after finishing the master ..

Hope to hear more advice on the two schools..

Ranking in USNEWS: RICE(rank #20) is higher than UCSB(rank #34).

So i am wondering how locals view these two..

Thank you.

I thought Rice was PhD only? Or is it the Professional Master's? A lot of the course names at UCSB are "hidden" in the sense of being topics courses. I recommend looking here: http://cs.ucsb.edu/sites/cs.ucsb.edu/files/docs/290_area_list.pdf
