Master of Professional Studies in Data Science - Batch of 2026

4.1

Career-focused program with good opportunities.

Tips: Be prepared for a practical career focused programme and manage time well. Weather can be harsh, so pack according. The cultural shift was manageable but adapting to the fast-paced lifestyle and communication style took some time. I did not receive a scholarship most are merit-based and competitive. The surrounding area felt unsafe at times, especially during late hours. I felt the need to be extra cautious off-campus which affected my sense of security. UMBC provides emergency alert systems, shuttle services, a well-lit path and blue light emergency phones throughout the campus to enhance student safety. Baltimore has a rich culture and vibrant food scene but I had a few comfortable encounters downtown at night. It's best to stay alert and avoid isolated areas.

Likes (Indian Food): There are many Indian restaurants and grocery stores nearby that offer authentic food which makes it easy to find meals similar to home. Local options include Indian Chinese Mediterranean and American restaurants. Casual meals cost $10-$20 mid-range restaurants are $25. I prefer cooking for myself as it's healthier and cost-effective though I eat out occasionally for a change.

The university has given me immense number of opportunities to build and grow.

Tips: Before joining UMBC, I think it’s important for students to know that it has strong ties to the biotech industry and is academically rigorous. The transition involved adapting to a wide range of cultures, along with independent learning. The faculty are highly knowledgeable and experts in their field. I did get a scholarship during my master’s studies. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the course and environment at UMBC.

M.S. in Computer Science - Batch of 2023

3.8

Satisfied with my time here but a little too expensive.

Tips: I got paid an allowance once it was around $12000 however did not avail of any scholarship. My professors were all good, and the labs here are well-equipped. The only concern I have is that library is not open 24x7. There are many things to do in university here and if you have any talent you'll easily find your way up. Be sure to prepare your assignments on time. I am overall satisfied with my university although I would say that a fee is a bit higher as to where the university is located.

Likes (Internships): Relevant internships are there which give you hands on experience. The faculty and college help you with that and if you are an active member of any club, your connections will help you too. There is a portal called UMBCworks where you can find relevant internships and job opportunities with respect to your course.

Dislikes (Safety): There is only one reason why I have rated 3 on safety and that is because Baltimore as a city is a bit higher on crime rate than other cities in the United States. This city is like a remote city and you'll feel like you are in an outskirts area.

4.0

Good university, average environment.

Tips: Students should know that if you are planning to come here to feel city like vibes then you will be laid a bit back. This university is in the outskirts with forest surrounding and there isn't a lot of development here if I talk about the area. University itself is good, the extra-curriculars here are good as well. So before coming here at least talk to someone who has lived or studied around here so that you can have a fair idea.

Likes (Quality of faculty): My course here is data Science and I must say the faculty is good. They not only help you with your assignments and course curriculum but they are there for you when you are looking for jobs or internships. Try to build relationships with your professors when you are here and this is what will set you apart from others.

Dislikes (Student Life): To be in states is not like in India. Here you have to take a part-time job anyhow to make ends meet so you should be knowing how to balance your academic and personal life. There is not much to do outside as a student, don't expect it'll be like New york or California here. College has many clubs you can involve yourself with but again you should know how to manage your time.

Not much around in the area but the college is decent.

Tips: This college is best for information Science, computer Science and data Science courses and IAS a Data Science can confirm that. As compared to other colleges in USA, the tuition fee here is affordable and the placement rate is also decent. In general, academics here is good but if you're looking for social life and off- college enjoyment you'll not get much here in this area there are only a few state parks to roam around and sometimes I feel that students want more when they come to the USA. But if you are here for strict study purposes and getting settled down here then you'll not feel it. Jobs here are listed on UMBCworks and you can benefit from it. Scholarships are also there so be sure before enrolling here to check if you can avail of any scholarship and apply for the same.
