The standard schedule is 10 months of full-time Master of Science in Computer Science study before starting your practical training position. During the full-time study portion of your master's degree program you will receive campus housing and meals as part of your financial aid package. You will also receive about four hundred dollars a month for books and personal expenses from your federal student loans.
Practical Training at a US Company
In the MS CS Program, you start with full-time study in the Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCS) program. Then you work for approximately four months at a U.S. technology company in full-paying practical training employment. Your practical training position in the computer science field is practicum, and you will receive academic credit for it.
The University has relationships with many of America's leading technology companies, but you can apply to work in an IT position at any U.S. company, and you can negotiate your own salary with help from the University.
Your salary will depend on your skills and experience, but first year earnings are normally US$60,000–70,000. Our students have received positions at more than 800 U.S. companies, including Microsoft, Google, IBM, Sun, Amazon.com, Oracle, General Electric, Cisco, and Hewlett-Packard.
Upon successful completion of the internship, you will have earned an MSCS degree and gained valuable experience with an American technology company which you can apply for the benefit of your home country when you return.
Entry dates are in February, June, and October.
