I have been accepted recently for a masters degree/Construction management at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. I am also waiting for the admission decision of University of Michigan Ann arbor for the same program. Which university to chose?
They are both strong schools, but I don’t know how they compare in your intended specialization…so it probably comes down to fit, network and cost. Fit is purely subjective, so I can offer no guidance. Network should be roughly equal in the mid-west and somewhat stronger for Michigan on both coasts (I could be wrong on the network effects, so check LinkedIn to compute your own metrics on the “visible” network). I don’t know which school you might be in-state for, but that will be, or perhaps should be, your tie breaker (in that there probably isn’t much difference in the two programs).
