Master of Professional Studies in Data Science - Batch of 2026
Offered by University of Maryland Baltimore County
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 overall 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.

Overall, I'm really satisfied with my experience at UMBC so far.
Tips: As an international student at UMBC, there were definitely some adjustments I had to make when first arrived on campus. The bigger one was probably getting used to the more independent and self-driven style of learning. Here, you really have to take initiative and be proactive about your academics and getting involved. That said, the transition was made so much easier by the diverse, welcoming community at UMBC. There are tons of cultural clubs and events that helped me find my niche. The application process was pretty straightforward -just to maintain a high GPA and write a couple of essays.
Likes (Student Life): I rated student life a 4 because, for me, the college has been a truly enriching experience so far. I love the buzz of being on campus and the sense of independence that comes with it. My typical day involves attending classes in person, hanging out with friends at the student centre or coffee shops, and squeezing in some study time at the library. I also make sure to hit the gym or catch a game to unwind. The best part is the freedom to explore new interests through the diverse range of clubs and activities on offer. Speaking of which, our campus is always buzzing with events and festivities, from cultural celebrations to open mic nights and movie screenings. It's been an awesome way to meet like-minded people and build a strong sense of community.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Finding employment with visa sponsorship after completing your master's programme can be difficult, but not impossible. Start preparing and networking early, and focus on larger companies and major tech firms. STEM fields have more opportunities with competitive salary packages at the entry level. Maintain an excellent academic record, and develop unique skills. Stay focused, highlight your strengths, and seek guidance from career services and mentors.

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.

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.
