Hi there,
I have just received offers from NYU MS Management of Technology and Stevens MS Information Systems, I am an international student and in the future I would like to stay in US for IT/ banking/ Consulting job opportunities after I graduate, any advice which one is better choice for me?
Thanks a lot!
Hi billionaire and Mo2men, great thanks to your thoughtful input, I really appreciated that. A bit more background about myself, I have done a bachelor in economics and finance from an Asian business school, the curriculum in Stevens looks more relevant to what I wish to learn as they are more information management/ technology related. As for NYU MOT, a few mandatory courses are related to economics/finance/accounting which most likely will be duplicated with what I have learnt from my undergraduate degree. Is this a correct understanding?
However, when I go back my home country to look for jobs in future, having NYU on my profile seems to be slightly more reputable than Stevens because most people in my home country might simply never heard of the name of Stevens before.
Based on the concerns above I am still considering between the two choices.
Hello
chlchlFrom your initial post I understood you want to stay in US to work after graduation ?
You didn't mention anything going back to Asia afterwards ?
From that perspective only, yes NYU should be clear choice.
Having said that, it really doesn't matter much where did you graduated after spending some time working in US banking/IT company, before eventually going back to Asia.
If that is your plan/goal, then US firm experience on your resume should be perceived as stronger reference for next job in Asia than graduate school alone.
Still, I understand if you want to play safe, then go for NYU.
Stevens is well known in US for excellent and innovative programs, outside of US brand of NYU wins.
Somehow I think you made your choice...or you are already inclined more toward NYU
Don't worry you will be fine either way !
Hello
Mo2menThank you for the praise, I am glad you find my posts/analysis useful.
Yes I am aware that lower ranked schools do provide even subject reference code under their program falls on, for their marketing purposes in order to lure students.
Did you eventually went the some kind of master or ?
Do you have any plans now, for some program ?
