Major: Electrical Engineering (This Major's Salary over time)
I can only speak for the electrical and computer engineering department. If I could have gone to another school I would have. My advisor and a few other professors are good but the rest suck! The majority of professors are old and don’t care anymore. A majority of the labs are empty and unused and an assistantship is hard to get unless you get a fellowship (but if you have a fellowship why would you go here). The department is bringing in some new professors so hopefully things will change for the better. The digital signal processing (DSP) graduate courses are good here but if you are interested in VLSI or power, go somewhere else. Most of the PhD students from my department are having difficulty finding jobs. The undergraduate program is totally useless. Most of the students in the undergrad are not very competitive. You probably will not land an engineering job unless you have at least a masters and that still does not guarantee anything. Miami does not have any industry, so if you do land a job it will probably be outside Miami. If you are not from Miami, expect to be really lonely.
