M.Arch from Columbia University, New York City - Fees & Admission Details 2024

Course Curriculum:

Excellent course. 100% updated. In fact we're not only learning how the industry operates currently, but what it should be moving towards. I've been working as a TA in my second semester, and also participated in some competitions to gain experience

Fees:

Its about $30,000 per semester. My course is 3 semesters. This does not include the rent, general expenses or health insurance.

Course Curriculum:

The quality of course curriculum is good. The curriculum is relevant to the industry. As a part of one of the courses we get to directly work on an industry project for one whole semester. I felt sql and reporting tools are not discussed in depth in any courses till date, including these would make students a better fit for the market.

Fees:

For a 3 semester course it would be around 75 Lakhs INR

Course Curriculum:

Very strong overall, and extremely rigorous in the engineering school. Calculus, physics, chemistry, economics, and introductory programming are all required for first-year students. Industrial experience is provided in the special Art of Engineering course.

Fees:

Full tuition is $80,000 if you are not offered any need-based financial aid

Course Curriculum:

The course syllabus is quite updated and there are industrial projects as well. Some of the courses as part of the core curriculum are pretty basic and are not worth spending as much.

Fees:

$72000 for the entire program fees (1.5 years)

Course Curriculum:

It is a relevant course curriculum but with a large focus on community and ecosystem ecology. Not a lot of wildlife. Some of the courses have field components and research is obviously a part of the work.

I had two PhD offers and I chose this one mainly because my previous advisors recommended it. It is a presitigious university in an exciting and happening city and an experienced advisor who is a "good human being". All of these points, except university prestige, I still think are important parameters to make the choice. I would also look at the department structure and work culture - both of which are often better at public universities.

Fees:

Tuition fee is around $80k a year and for me, around 80% of it is covered by financial aid. I also qualify for work study, which covers about 25% of what I have to pay. Financial aid is available for international students, however, their admittance isn't need-blind like national students. There are also many outside scholarships that are available to international students.

It was the most prestigious school I was accepted into, and I really wanted to go to a smaller school in an urban setting. I looked into specific programs I was interested in and found one that fit my needs pretty closely, and I particularly liked the integrated bachelors and masters program offered.

Course Curriculum:

The courses are very practical and industry relevant. In general, the students have full flexibility to choose courses and it is up to us to choose an industry based course or a research course. I am personally doing industry relevant courses in deep learning.

Fees:

One credit as of 2021 costs $2200. MS students are expected to complete 30 credits to be eligible for getting their degree.

Course Curriculum:

Course is very rigorous. There are very less courses in which you feel you did not gain much. All other courses you will have to put a lot of effort and you will feel that you have gained a lot from the course.

Fees:

Per credit : 2250$. Total 30 credits.

Course Curriculum:

The content of the courses is relevant and quite hands on. A lot of stress is given to how things are done in the industry. For somebody who hasn't had industry experience, this can become challenging but will help students once they step out of the university.

Fees:

Approx. 70k USD for 10 courses plus additional costs of health insurance, internation student fees and other miscellaneous components. Overall, leaving accommodation aside, cost of attending a Master's program in engineering can cost around INR 75 lacs.

Course Curriculum:

It’s good mostly focused on Machine Learning. Curriculum is latest.

Fees:

70000 dollars
