Hi Bhaveek!

Here are a few questions that come to my mind on thinking about MS in UFL.

  1. What are the scopes of getting a scholarship for an MS in ECE? I even got mail from the admissions department encouraging me to apply with an assured " Academic Achievement Award of $4,500". Need your thoughts on this as well.

  2. Are there enough campus career fairs to try and get an internship or job opportunities on our own?

  3. How good is UFL overall going by ranking, job placements and student performance & retention?

11

Which has better job prospects MS in Computer Science or MS in DataScience and what should one go for : location of college or ranking of college?Also please share study material for TOEFEL.
Thanks.
