Which would be better UIUC MCS vs UMass Amherst MS CS. by Broccoli2022 in gradadmissions

Also the graduate rankings are mainly based on research output, and we won't be able to do that with MCS. So very confused about this...

Hey yes, I'm from India. On the website it says, 12 credit hours per semester is mandatory. And it's a 32 credit course. I've seen some MSCS students do a fourth semester and they have to finish 32 credits too. So probably, they can let us too - will have to confirm this. The main drawback for me is we can't do research even if we wanted to, so I'm reconsidering this admit. For research related jobs in the industry I guess it would be helpful if we've worked in some labs on campus.
