MSF University of Maryland or American U

Question

Hey everybody, could you help me choose between these two programs? Both of them (UMD $ AU)are held in D.C. and can be completed in one academic year. What's more, the curriculums are similar. UMD seems to have higher reputation, while AU will provide career service to every student including international students.

I know because of the financial crisis, it is really hard for an international student to find a job in the U.S., so if I have to return to my motherland(China) after graduation, which one do you think I should consider?I

Thanks a lot!

So I just came arcoss this post and am wondering which school you decided on? If you are still considering respond and I will give you my analysis - I looked into both these programs but went with GWU but have at least a little insight if you are set on these two schools.

I wouldn't mind an analysis of UofM and AU

Ummm GWU is $60k in tuition alone. They treat themselves like an ivy league school and only Rochester is almost that expensive. They're a decent school but with the average MSF costing around $40,000 (everything including), GWU's $60K+Room/Board/Food/Books/Travel/Insurance is completely ridicolous. 
They also require international students to show over $100,000 of financial means!!!! Ridicolous in my opinion when Villanova is $30,000, Tulsa $30,000 and so on.

Would anyone be able to provide more information about Maryland vs American vs GWU ?
