Rutgers vs. UCI Materials Scinece MS

Graduate School
1

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I have recently been accepted to both Rutgers and UCI’s Masters of Materials Scinece and engineering. I don’t know which one I should choose. Please give me some advice. </p>

<p>Here are my analyses.</p>

<p>Rutgers: MS is usually completed in two to three years with thesis. Most classes have between 5 and 10 students.
UCI: MS is usually completed in one and half to two years. MS can choose to take the comprehensive M.S. exam or write a thesis.</p>

<p>After getting the MS. Degree, I won’t consider to keep chasing Ph.D., so I don’t want to waste time on Rutgers’ thesis. Graduating from UCI seems easier to find a job in CA ( cause CA has more jobs); however, it looks like Rutgers can build stronger foundation of knowledge. </p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Why does it look like Rutgers can build a stronger foundation of knowledge?</p>

<p>Because most classes have between 5 and 10 students, promoting collegial relationships between faculty and students. It needs 6 hours of research credits and thesis.</p>
