Highlights

A minimum of 30 credits and a 3.0 GPA is required at the graduate level for the MS for both thesis and non-thesis options. The student must be in compliance with all of the University’s degree requirements. At least four physics courses (12 credits) at the graduate 2000-level must be completed with a grade of B (3.00). A 3000-level course can be substituted for one of these, but only with the Academic Advisor’s approval.
No more than six credits of graduate work completed at another institution may be accepted by the Graduate Committee toward the completion of the residence requirement. Credits earned for PHYS 2997 and PHYS 2998 may not be used to satisfy this requirement. No more than two non-physics graduate-level courses, approved in advance by the Director of Graduate Studies, will be considered for credit towards the MS degree.

Master of Science in Information Science - Batch of 2024

Offered by University of Pittsburgh

Best research oriented University

Tips: My scholarship is in the process so I might get it and students coming here can also try to get one. University is quite good, the management is really helpful and there are a lot of job opportunities through various on-campus job events. I'm satisfied with the University as it gives me a good study environment.

Likes (Public transportation): PITT students can travel anywhere with the ID card and get many offers included in restaurants. Public transportation is good. The campus is in the centre of the city close to downtown. A lot of tourist attractions nearby the campus itself. You can travel anywhere by bus around the city. Only fewer places need a cab facility.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I would not like to permanently settle in this state but I would want to move to a different one. A good salary with a decent car would be perfect to stay in any place in the United States as it's quite expensive. I couldn't adapt to the food easily it takes time. But overall a good place.

It is a good college with lots of opportunities to excel

Tips: Check for STEM courses, and apply early for scholarships. Check with seniors who are studying there regarding job sector post-studies. Connect with alumni. There are a lot of cultural socks for students as the culture is quite different from that in India. But you get used to it.
