- sjg007 5y agoMost CS masters programs are this way. They are a way to get into the H1B lottery.
- Emma_Goldman 5y agoIn the UK, 90% of masters programs work that way. Admissions criteria for international students are a lot lower, because they can charge them what they like. It's where they make a lot of their money.
- colinmhayes 5y agoAlmost all computer science masters programs exist to take money from foreign students who are looking to gain residency.
- cdgore 5y agoI've heard people say this since the program is so large, but the same could be said for any large research university that has a CS master's program. Anecdotally, I got my master's degree in CS at USC and had a good experience overall. I definitely learned a lot and was able to fill in some gaps in my knowledge of CS theory and machine learning. I was also able to get offers from Google and Facebook from their on-campus recruiting programs, and I know several other people in my cohort that did the same.
