The master's program for Computer Science is highly overrated and merely a source of revenue to a University that exploits its students' financial resources by charging excessive tuition fees for sub standard course content and teaching material. Classes conducted by various professors are utterly useless and the only useful information provided by them is the links to useful websites where students can gain useful knowledge. International students who decide to pursue their masters at USC are exploited... Read More financially and gain very little in terms of knowledge. There are abundant resources online that provide access to higher quality education at far more affordable prices. USC is a sham. If you want to gain more knowledge, this is not the place to be. Getting a masters degree from USC by no means enhances the quality or depth in knowledge in your field. You merely have to learn from external resources which you can do at your own free time without having to pay the exorbitant amounts of money.

I am a current graduate student in the University of Southern California's computer science program and so far I am very happy with the program. I am a DEN (Distance Education Network) student and so I attend all of my classes online and since I live in the Los Angeles area I take all of the exams on campus. My experience with this so far has gone very well as I have been able to work full time and attend my graduate courses online. I have also been able to make use of the many resources available... Read More to me as a USC student such as the many libraries that are available. Both Leavey Lbrary and Norris Medical Library have been great resources for me to be able to study and get work done. So far the quality of instruction has been excellent as the professors and TAs have been extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The courses I have taken so far have been challenging but not so much so that they are impossible to pass. Every time that I am on campus I notice a great diversity in students and I have never felt unsafe on campus.
