PP
Parth Patel Posted On : February 3rd, 2021
Studied MS in Business Analytics at the University of Cincinnati

The engineering and IT schools at the University of Cincinnati work alongside each other on many aspects including analytics too. The IT school has a reputation for having the fastest growth in the entire university. P&G, GE, Cincinnati Bell, Great American Insurance, Western-Southern Life, Kroger, Macy’s, are some of the companies with which the school partnered which means great placement opportunities. The Co-op program offered by the college is also the best you can get in the country.

McGill University is ranked at 51st place in Best Global Universities by US News meanwhile the University of Cincinnati is ranked at 143rd place in National universities in the US. If you wish to choose the college depending on academics, then both the schools share a good reputation in that aspect.

Content University of Cincinnati McGill University
Program MS (Business Analytics) MBA (Business Analytics)

Tuition Fees USD14,949/Year USD33,375/Year
