Hi Hrishikesh,

Thanks for your help so far. Few doubts i have is

1) Isn't the fees dependent upon the number of credits we take per quarter? Or is it that the tuition fees will come to around $8000 per quarter? Also didn't get the $36k - Does this  mean that the tution fees will be approximately 9k per quarter ????

2) How is the final placement scenario this year (Fall 2009 graduating batch)? How many have managed to find jobs in this market? Also I have finished my MBA and would be coming there, so are the kind of job profiles are functional (BA / consultant) roles or are mostly coding or technical? It is very important in my case as I wouldn't like to take up a profile that involves only coding ......Please elaborate on this

3) What is the co-op scenario this year ? How many internationals (2010 batch) have got one this year?

[Hrishikesh]

1) I have mentioned in detail regarding the fee structure on the
thread - IS Course duration

Pls go thru it and let me know if I missed any part.

Fees for each quarter if you are taking 16 credits (which all
International students usually take comes to $8000 (including tuition
and other fees + insurance) Plus in few qtrs you need to take few
extra credits beyond 18 to cover the total 72 credit course
requirement for MS-IS where you pay per credit fee beyond 18
credit...Also if you are on Coop you pay $400 somthing as Coop fee per
qtr

So taking all that into consideration you pay - $8000 X 4 = $ 32000 +
$4000 (extra credits + coop fees) = $36000

2) Of batch of 24 Internationals in 2007
In March 2009 - 8 applied for graduation - all got full time jobs
Rest are suppose to apply for graduation in June 2009 - Folks have
been attending interviews .. I haven't heard of any good news until
now thou

To be honest... folks have taken up any jobs which they could land up
with... I do not want to send wrong signals but going is tough right
now because of all reason we all are aware of.. So having a fixation
for a particular profile will not work in this market... right now
getting a job is priority and flexibility is important... technical
and work exp surely will help in all ways.

3) Coop scene is not that well at this time of the year....with just
one month left for Spring qtr to end..

I understand few folks are placed for Coop of 30 internationals -
Of what I am aware of, folks have been placed in GAIC, SAP IT,
Monsanto and others ..approx number is 10 or something ... Folks are
still giving interviews at companies to hope to see increase in the
number
