I'm in the online MSCIS program and the courses are superb! I couldn't ask for better professor's and facilitators to help through the learning process. The bill is a little steep, but well worth it. Some would say that online education is a second rate degree, but at BU..that is so far from the truth. A+ overall.

Computer Science

Studies are extremely hard. Considering that professors are too busy with research, or teaching a class of 50+ students, basically the teachers give lectures - and TA handles everything else including grading of exams. Teachers are very busy with research, and always assign projects in advanced levels to assist in their research - which could run into unexpected trouble at times. General computer labs had slow computers, which I avoided and used Computer Science lab instead. Don't expect much help finding jobs as I doubt employers relationship with university in Computer Science department is that spectacular. If you are planning on becomming a teacher or have already a position as a reasearcher in government or a private company, only then would I recommend this university. Plan to spend sleepless nights in your homeworks, and projects.

Boston University is almost completely focused on research. Since promotion and tenure are dependent on research do not expect professors to provide a quality education. Professors are rarely available to students and always bogged down with research. I would strongly discourage attending Boston University.

BU School of Theology and the Elie Wiesel Center for Judaic Studies are wonderful places to study. Professors and staff are all there to help you in any way they can. They frequently go the extra mile to make sure you are well acomodated. I received home like welcome and extremely generous financial support. Professors are world famous experts, yet approachable and genuinely interested in you, your research, career plans and goals. Wonderful mix of cosy atmosphere and superb academics!!!
