Is American SIT College worth recommending? First, the overall strength of SIT College.
It is one of the oldest polytechnics in the United States, and it is called the four polytechnics together with MIT, California Institute of Technology and Rensselaer Institute of Technology. At the same time, he is a member of the American Association of Independent Polytechnic Universities, and has trained Nobel Prize winners in physics and chemistry.
People who have never heard of this school may make such comments as "low reputation". After all, it is "research institute" and "technology", and there is no "university" or even "college".
In this school with less than 7,000 students, there are 35 undergraduate majors, 58 master majors and 22 doctoral majors. Many people really don't know about undergraduate programs in China. Most undergraduates are local whites, and the proportion of international students is only 2.9%. From the data point of view, the graduate education of the school is more "out of the circle", and the proportion of international students accounts for 62%.
The number of international students fluctuates constantly, but it basically shows an obvious upward trend. This shows that SIT is not the little-known transparency ten years ago.
According to statistics, Stevens Institute of Technology ranks 67th in the popularity of international students among American 1 288 universities. In the past few years, the total number of international students has increased at an average rate of 12.7%. Of course, China is the biggest contributor.
Second, the location advantages of SIT College
First of all, SIT is located in new york, across the river from Manhattan.
SIT's CS master program has three directions, one is the normal development direction, the other is the data category, and the other is the technical position of financial companies. This means that new york is a very suitable place to work. Many students who graduated from CS went to major banks in new york, such as Morgan Tower, Barclays, and ——IBM, the most famous big data company, also in new york.
According to the data of official website, the average salary of the class of 202/kloc-0 is $75,000, and 97% of them have achieved good career achievements within six months after graduation. Because of engineering, the employment rate and salary are very high!
Being located in new york has unique advantages, but the small SIT area is also a disadvantage.
Third, the advantages of SIT college project
The proportion of SIT engineering graduates receiving doctoral degrees is only lower than Massachusetts Institute of Technology and California Institute of Technology, ranking third in the United States. The most famous majors in the school are engineering, science and technology management, computer science and electronic/communication engineering. Their influential projects such as artificial intelligence, medical care and network security have attracted national attention.
And water, such as Bi &；; The course of MIS in A, if you take this course, it's good to listen or not, depending on your mood. I also saw a classmate leave a message saying that the teachers of BIA650 and MIS637 have a good background, but their lectures are very watery and they don't care much about the students.
In fact, this is not a "special case" ... every school has bad teachers, bad courses and even some big cattle schools. If you just listen to one side of the story, your road to studying abroad will be more bumpy.
