<p>I am an International student who apply for the ECE M.S. program in the US. Up to now I have got 4 admissions which are all master programs in Electrical Engineering Department. They are from University of Michigan, Columbia University, UCSD, USC. I wish to find a job in the US after my graduate study. As a result, the location may be very important. UCSD has a good location (many ee industries are in the CA ), while Umich has a higher reputation. Also USC is in LA where there are may EE firms but it seems to have too many internantional students, in which case, it may be hard for me ti improve my English. And Columbia has the higest reputation of the four school while someone told me that it is hard to seek a EE related job in NY.</p>

<p>I heard that many company prefer to employ student who have the internship experience, so I wonder which university may give students more chance. </p>

<p>I found myself on the horns of a dilemma. Could you give me some advise? Thank you all!</p>

<p>I would choose between Umich and Columbia. Columbia have great physics department where you can learn indepth of transistors, (molecular compound for next generation transistor). That’s only if you want to go into microsystem/transistor focus in EE. Umich is have great program overall in Electrical Engineer. I can’t tell you where to go but both have excellent program but Columbia is more science focus rather than engineer.</p>
