M.S in USA

Since you are an international student, you are going to have to pay out of state tuition rates for whichever school you attend. So your tuition is going to be high. For engineering/business that means your tuition will be in the ballpark of $35,000 per year. US News Engineering School Rankings ranks the top 50 engineering universities, and as you could observe, the tuition fees range from a low of $17,506 for UT Austin to a high of $45,480 for Stanford University. In addition, for food and living, you need at least $500 per month. So, your yearly cost of doing a Masters is around $40,000. Most people finish their Masters in 2 years, while some do in one and a half years. If you could manage an internship for the summer after your first year, your cost will come down significantly (graduation students earn around $10,000 in their summer internships, before taxes). So without any tuition assistance, you are looking at an expenditure between $60,000 to $80,000. However, many universities offer tuition scholarships (50% to 100%), which would reduce your expenses significantly. Additionally, if you could get paid research positions in a lab, your total expenses may be well within $25,000. Hope this helps.
