关于CS Master选课的问题：
由于我本人是转专业的，所以在选择学校的时候会很留意是否可以补基础课等问题。我把我分享消息告诉大家。

来源：http://www.reg.uci.edu/registrar/soc/webreg.html 其中的UNIT LIMITS FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS (16 UNITS)

As a graduate student, full-time academic enrollment is expected at the University of California. Full-time study is defined as enrollment in at least 12 units of upper-division or graduate academic credit per quarter, including credit for supervised research or teaching. You may enroll in lower-division courses with the approval of your academic advisor, but such courses are not considered to be part of any graduate program.

Ordinarily, you may not receive credit for more than 12 units per quarter in graduate courses, or 16 units in upper-division courses, or a proportionate number in combination. Course loads in excess of 16 units must be approved in advance by your Graduate Advisor.

我的理解是：维持full-time的status要至少十二个学分的本科高年级课程或者graduate level的课
单单选graduate level的课不能超过12学分，也就是只能12学分，三门课的样子。如果是本科高年级课程与graduate level课相结合的话不能超过16学分。如果要多修课必须得到批准。
可以选修本科低年级课程，但是这个课不会算在12个学分内。也就是说，只能在满足12学分基础上选低年级课程。这个课也不会算在毕业学分内。

另外UCI的学费是每个学期固定的。所以在保证自己吃得消的状况下，多选课还赚了！

贴一个自己写在知乎上的答案吧
.--环境：
地处大加州最适宜人居住的irvine，气候真的超级棒呆（南方小伙伴觉得很干燥，北方小伙伴普遍觉得都还好）。有那么一个月超级晒，能把人晒秃噜皮的那种，但太阳一落山，就超级舒服。离海边很近，各种沙滩，都超级美。校园环境也很好（至少我这么觉得）有各种小动物：干脆面君，小松鼠，乌鸦，蜂鸟，还有各种叫不出来名字的。
生活：
加州以华裔多而闻名，基本上你想吃的亚裔的东西都有，日本、韩国超市餐馆比比皆是，越南粉，泰国菜都有，还有各种中餐外卖菜系超级全。购物也很方便，outlet和各种plaze都很近，开车10～20分钟吧。离迪士尼车程30分钟 去LA不堵车40分钟 hollwood车程1小时。
校园文化：
uci才50年在美帝那是相当年轻的学校了，但我觉得整体校园文化还蛮好的，每年秋季开学前都会组织学生集体破个吉尼斯纪录 每年的项目还不一样（今年是夺旗，以前还有过枕头大战什么的）。学校除授课以外的东西软硬件都很健全。
学习
终于说道重中之重了。加州大部分都是quarter制 一个quarter一般为三个月（我们这个quarter只有2个月零2周）学习超级紧凑，每门课一周一个quiz，一个月就开始midterm，两个月后就是final。大部分本科生有两个midterm。留学生为了维持留学生身份至少要选12学分的课程（基本上就是3门课）。研究生必须保证gpa3.0以上 而phd则要3.5以上。所以课还是非常紧凑的（也分专业和选课啦）。像研究生在这种高强度下 一般最快4个quarter就可以毕业了。这也算是一种优势吧。

弊端
亚裔超级多
华人超级多
工科阿三超级多

关于UCI的财产证明

我贴了官方说明和相应的地里同学的一些做法。基本上来自这个帖子http://www.1point3a ...

学姐，能咨询一下，你们那级就业情况肿么样？

原文链接：http://www.1point3acres.com/bbs/thread-26195-1-1.html

UC Irvine与计算机相关的

专业

有如下几个方向：

Computer Science
隶属于School of Information and Computer Science
有关录取：

今年招收学生(master)总共60人左右，其中

中国

学生7人左右。老印很多。

研究生

期间不分方向。招收学生目测偏好国内名校(985之类)毕业。

PhD

目测招收中国学生较少。个位数之内

有关毕业与课程：
. 1point3acres

毕业可以选择论文或者考试，但是GPA要求不能低于3.5。其中考试不是单独分离的，而是只要通过每门课安排的考试相关要求，即可通过该门课的毕业考试。但必须要选四门这样的核心课程。课程选择范围较大，可以选择informatics和statistics以及两门非本学院的课。

有关研究：

尽管我没有找

老师

跟做研究，但是有

同学

跟老师做研究。是否有钱根据老师而定，我认识的同学（master）已经拿Graduate Student Researcher 级别的工资（据说还可以，具体同学未透露），学院经费比较充足。研究方向主要是计算机理论研究。

有关就业：

就业前景还算良好，上一届所有的中国学生都找到

工作

（除了没找的还有有绿卡的人之外），有去大公司，也有不少去小公司。薪水据说最低是8w刀一年。

. 牛人云集一亩三分.地

Information and Computer Science
隶属于School of Information and Computer Science
有关录取：

今年招收学生(master)总共30人左右，其中中国学生6人左右。几乎没老印。研究生期间分四个方向：Informatics, HCI, Ubiquitous Computing, Software。PhD中国学生只有两个。

有关毕业与课程：

毕业可以选择论文或者考试，GPA要求不能低于3.0。考试是单独分离出来的考试，与核心课程有关。核心课程包括Software Engineering, HCI, Ubiquitous Computing 和 Social analysis of computing. 课程以研究之前论文为主。考试比较开放

有关研究：

同CS----->尽管我没有找老师跟做研究，但是有同学跟老师做研究。是否有钱根据老师而定，我认识的同学（master）已经拿Graduate Student Researcher 级别的工资（据说还可以，具体同学未透露），学院经费比较充足。

有关就业：

此条也同CS------>就业前景还算良好，上一届所有的中国学生都找到工作（除了没找的还有有绿卡的人之外），有去大公司，也有不少去小公司。薪水据说最低是8w刀一年。

Software Engineering
隶属ICS

今年新开专业，从原来的Information and Computer Science中划分出来。

. from: 1point3acres.com/bbs

今年是第一届开始招生。课程范围比较广，甚至包括商学院的也可以算入学分。

NetSys. 一亩-三分-地，独家发布
隶属ICS

. From 1point 3acres bbs

有关NetSys本人了解较少，此专业由于创办人离开UCI导致招收学生越来越少。课程与EECS和ICS交叉。其它具体不太了解。

EECS
隶属Engineering School

不知道

学校

为何有两个类似CS的部门（派系斗争？）

. 牛人云集一亩三分.地

EECS主要是CE方面的内容，但也有些课程是CS的课程。我没有上过EECS的课具体不了解

但据说EECS的经费不是很充足，不太建议选报EECS的PhD。（当然自费master无所谓）

不过EECS有去Broadcom实习的优势，应为broadcom总部就在UCIrvine校园里面，

而且

broadcom据说很偏好UCIrvine EECS的学生

此外就业据说如果找码农的话应该还算好找

大概就这么多。。

就业

另外学校比较关心学生的就业，经常会举办Career Fair,经常会有Engineering Career Fair，大公司例如Amazon, Google, Microsoft, EMC, SAP, Blizzard, Broadcom等等会常年来UCIrvine招收全职以及实习。其中Google在每个fall quarter 举办info session 并且给每个（对，是everyone）投简历的学生一次

面试

机会（当然成败靠自己。。。）。据说Microsoft也同样有这样的活动，但是本人没有参加过。

此外在Irvine附近也有不少大的IT公司（当然不如湾区那么多），比如Blizzard, Google Irvine, Oracle Irvine, Epicor, EMC Irvine, Adobe system(irvine) , Western Digital, Broadcom等等，还有分布着很多小IT公司，总体来说就业机会比较多。

学费生活费

但是UCIrvine相对学费有点贵，一个quarter 1w刀，大部分人5个quarter毕业。当然你猛一点三个也不是问题。。。。。（有些不可能）。。。。

生活费吃饭一个月300刀（对我来说够了），住宿的话一般是在600刀一个月左右，最便宜也要500刀。另外Irvine公共交通不是不发达，而是基本没有，不过学校有校车。当然自己有车更方便。

气候与治安

Irvine在加州橙郡，气候典型的地中海气候，四季如春，早晚稍冷。天天阳光明媚。

Irvine是

美国

最安全的城市之一，几乎没有黑人（no offensive）。晚上几点在外面走都没事。

Its been more than 6 months since I came to University of California, Irvine. Two out of four quarters down and I didn't even realize that I'm almost half way through. The last 6 months or so have been good and bad in some ways. I would like to share my experiences which might be helpful for friends who are thinking about Masters in CS at UC, Irvine. I hope it answers some of your general questions about UCI. Some things to keep in mind before going ahead..
1. These are my personal views and you can choose to disagree.
2. All the points are from the point of view of CS and may or may not apply to other branches.
3. Some statistics are bound to change as time goes by.
4. At no point do I compare UCI with any other University.


I have got considerable help from a similar document made by our senior.


1. Why should you come to UCI?
The ICS department at UC, Irvine is top class when it comes to Machine Learning / AI, Databases, Security, Compilers. You will find world renowned professors in these areas who do extensive research work and have very good funding available. People like Micheal Carey, P Smyth, Gene Tsudik, Michael Franz are some names who are amongst the top people working in these areas. So if you want to pursue your Masters with focus on ML / AI, DB, Compilers or Security you should consider UC, Irvine as one of the best options. You will find atleast 1-2 courses every quarter in these areas. You will also find some good courses in Distributed Systems [+ parallel computing] and Algorithms at UCI.
Another point to note is that UCI is very good for research. Professors here do a lot of research work and UCI is known for that.


2. Why should you NOT come to UCI?
People with interests in Networks and OS or Systems in general will be deeply disappointed considering the courses and their variety offered at UC, Irvine. There have been good courses and professors in the recent past but somehow for us the experience has been very disappointing. Some of the problems faced by students are no good courses, no good professors and courses which were supposed to be offered have also been dropped due to one reason or the other. There is NO professor in the ICS department whose interests lie in OS.

3. Quarter System at UCI
You have the quarter system at UCI. This means that you have 3 quarters (fall, winter and spring) in an academic year instead of 2 semesters. Each quarter is of 10weeks. You have to take 3courses in each quarter for the first 3 quarters. The quarter system as such is not hectic. It largely depends on the courses you take and the professors for those courses. It is fast paced as compared to semester pattern. Some people say that the advantage here is that you can complete you MS in 4 quarters (CS non-thesis) and in 5 quarters for CS thesis. You get less time to work on the courses and projects. So you need to do your tasks fast. Take a look at the quarterly calendar here.
I will personally suggest going for semester pattern if your more interested in doing research.


4. I20 amount for UCI
The I20 amount for Fall 11 was $45,939 and for Fall 10 it was $43,517. Assuming a 5-10% increase, it will be around $47-48k for Fall 12.


5. Fees at UCI
The I20 fees is $29,939 (which is for 9months i.e 3 quarters). The tuition fees per quarter is $10,015. If you take insurance from India this comes to $9,354 / quarter. CS students generally go part time for the 4th quarter which means you are taking 8 units or less in the quarter (provided this is your last quarter and you passed all courses that you had taken at the normal course load of 12 units / quarter for the first 3 quarters). You will have to pay approx half fee for part time i.e. $9354 / 2 = $4,677.
Thesis students pay full fees for 4th quarter and go on a filing fee for the 5th quarter. Filing fee is around $200 approx.


6. Other expenses at UCI
For housing you can consider it to be between $550-$700 a month depending on your living style. This amount includes housing rent + utilities + phone. People completing in 4 quarter should multiple it by 15 and those doing it in 5 quarters by 18. Consider you might take additional 3 months post MS to get a job, you could add 3 months to each. Let us assume it to be $650 / month.


7. Total cost
CS non-thesis
(UCI Insurance)
$29,939 + $5,008 + ($650 * 18) = $46,647 (23.33L @ rate 1USD = INR 50)
(Insurance from India)
($9354 * 3) + $4,677 + ($650 *18) = $44,429 (22.21L @ rate 1USD = INR 50)
No earnings (internships or on-campus job) included in this calculation.


8. Insurance from India
University insurance costs $660 / quarter. You can waive it off and get insurance from India which can be around Rs. 32k-38k for 12 months. This way you will save $660 / quarter and will end up paying $9354 / quarter. The flipside is the reimbursements (this might be cumbersome but we mostly resort to self-medication here).


9. On-campus jobs at UCI
There are very few on-campus jobs at UCI. In our batch hardly 4-5 people got  on-campus jobs. And it is not easy to get an on-campus job (as in some other colleges). An on-campus job will easily cover your entire monthly expenses (not fees).


10. Internship scene at UCI
Students generally do a 12 weeks internship in Summer. It can pay you anywhere between $4000 - $6000 per month. This year the internship scene is very good for CS students. Almost everyone has got calls from good companies and it is upto you to convert them. There are career fairs at UCI where you get the chance to submit your resume and interact with the employees. Though the career fairs are not very good (in comparison with USC / CMU / Gatech) but they are improving every year. More and more companies are showing up for the fairs. According to me, UCI has a good name in the industry and people have got calls from biggies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Qualcomm, Salesforce, etc.
In Fall '10 batch almost all landed up with an internship and have also got full time offers. Big companies like Google, Microsoft, Salesforce give calls to many but hire only in small numbers.


11. Does being in California help a lot for jobs?
Now, being in California does help. But it helps in a way that the numerous startups / medium sized S/W companies will prefer you than relocating someone from other state. It surely does not guarantee you a job, just that it opens you to more locally situate opportunities.


12. Off-campus housing at UCI
Almost everyone doing Masters stay off-campus at a location called Parkwest Apartments. You get unfurnished apartment with 2BHK / 3BHK. The rent is around $1700 for 2 Bed 2 Bath apartment. Housing decision can be taken later in July after your done with Visas and stuff and once you have formed groups. Get more information  Parkwest Apartments.
For conveyance, students use the OCTA buses which are relatively convenient (every 30mins during peak hours and 45mins otherwise). It takes 10-12mins to reach UCI by bus. You get a yearly OCTA bus pass for $155. You can travel anywhere within Orange County and not just to UCI.


13. On-campus housing at UCI
This option gives you housing closer to the campus. But again its costly when compared to Parkwest. Master students are not guaranteed on-campus housing. Get more information aton-campus housing.


14. Funding at UCI

Masters students do not get funding. There are rare chances of getting funded but that too only after coming here. So I would suggest coming here without expecting any funding.

ICS@UC-Irvine申请录取和就业情况介绍
. check 1point3acres for more.原帖地址：http://www.1point3acres.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=15445

1）你在which university, dept and program?
Informatics @ Information and Computer Science, UC-Irvine；不过大多数CS其实是Engineering School下面的EECS，而我们分院有Computer Science, Informatics和Statistics三个Departments，我们Informatics的好处之一就是中国人比三哥多，seminar讨论起来不用忍受印度腔 lol

2）能说说你们系的Grad program招生情况吗？ 比如今年招了多少新生？其中多少中国人？都是什么背景？. 1point 3acres 论坛
今年貌似总共招了150+的中国人，感觉EECS占了一半的样子，学校背景 中清北 都有，但数量不多的几个PhD而已，MS比较多些，各种二线院校吧

3) 能说一说你在那里的消费水平吗？
都说加州消费水平是比较高的，不过如果大家就是自己做饭也还不太能感觉出来吧，就是房租比较贵，如果自己一个人一个room，校内的VP和PV是最好选择了，校外贵 但是可以两个人share一个room，客厅还可以再出租，每个人分担的也就少了，虽然有些同学在校内的还是有分租，不过有一定风险，被抓到就是被赶出去
. visit 1point3acres.com for more.
4）能说一下你所了解的就业情况吗？有没有安排实习，好不好进实验室？
因为我是MS，而且刚开学，具体情况不是很了解，来这里几天经常听人说CS比较好找工作，进实验室情况就不知道了
. more info on 1point3acres.com
5）你周一到周五都是怎么过的？周末是怎么过的？
有车的话有很多地方可以去，海滩、shopping、Disney，远点的话去LA或者San Diego，或者Vegas（开车四小时多些）；校内的话图书馆和学校中间的Aldrich Park都是不错的，另外健身中心也很不错的，因为学校相对较新，设施都比较好，还有各种课程，据说Kobe也偶尔会来锻炼和指导

6）打算毕业以后找工作？还是继续PHD？还是回国？你有没有去争取TA/RA/Intern或者免费实验室劳动力？
比较可能找工作，也可能考虑继续PhD，回国可能性比较小，目前在尝试找on-campus job

7）简单谈谈自己在哪里social的情况吧
CSSA在努力帮助大家，中国留学生整体来说还是满团结互助的，学校各种社团的情况过些天有招新. from: 1point3acres.com/bbs
. more info on 1point3acres.com
8）学校附近的娱乐活动，交通状况，社会治安如何？
Irvine属于富人区，治安之好貌似是FBI名录上名列榜首的，校内和附近地区 在开学后会有shuttle bus，目前具体情况还不很了解，公共交通比较弱，大部分时间1个小时才有一辆bus

9）选课学习进行的如何？
比较自由的吧，而且像我选的ICS的Informatics有几个方向可以选择，而且学校主页上有列出各专业的学习计划

10）有什么特殊校园文化嘛？有图片的也欢迎发上来看看。
这点 可能因为学校比较新，所以比较弱，当时这点也是我不太喜欢的方面之一

=========================== 一些补充说明 ============================

来之前曾经在USNews上看过一些在校生和alumni对于UCI的评论，记得曾经有人说学校的staff不是很热心，结合当时给小米邮件的回复情况，确实有些担心；不过来了之后，感觉staff确实属于拿钱干活的类型，交了学费自然才会有服务

Graduate Resource Center 和 Career Center 都会有很多workshop，包括Job Hunting Strategy, How to Write Resume, How to Prepare Interview，怎么给自己定位等等，同时提供Resume咨询、修改服务，还有English Peer Tutor和一些语言方面的辅助programs

对于找工作来说，学校内部ZotLink上面也有很多职位，每个Quarter都会有Job Fair，特别是今年的Engineering, Science and Technical Job Fair感觉还是很给力的，最近几天Google和Microsoft都在专门on campus interview，Irvine当地及附近的软件公司有不少，Google有一个office就在Irvine，还有BLIZZARD总部；听Microsoft的宣讲说，如果成功完成他们的summer internship的话，就相当于拿到了job offer，PhD的话以后可以每年暑假都去做intern，毕业后也可以直接去上班，动力啊动力～

对于要做faculty的来说，学校邮箱经常会有各个学校的职位post出来，Cornell、Stanford等等都有，其他方向不是很了解，Software Engineering方向的话  UCI算是几个难得比较全、比较大、发展也比较早的学校之一，因为我是MS 对学校研究实力不很确定，但从目前了解到的情况来看  还是很有潜力的

.1point3acres留学申请版
.1point3acres留学申请版
再补充一点关于研究方向的内容：

上面说了UCI的SE是全面发展的，Architecture有Richard Taylor, Design有Andre van der Hoek, Testing有James Jones, Language有Christina Lopes等等，具体研究实力和方向大家可以去搜一下；HCI虽然我不是很关心和了解，不过貌似应该也是强项之一，我们Informatics的四门核心课程有两门是HCI的  可以看出其受重视程度和影响力，其实Ubi Com也在一定程度上用于HCI的，Professor的话可以看一下Bonnie Nardi

我们Informatics Department来说，关于PhD的招生，今年HCI中国的一个清华、两个美本/美硕、一个访问学者，SE貌似没有国内来的，去年SE一个清华的跟了Jim Jones，另一个未知；关于MS招生，今年扩招得比较多，大概6、7个吧，另外  因为有Thesis Track，进实验室自然是有机会的，而且如果你能有空帮忙的话  第一年也可以去找免费打工的机会，我知道的有一个美国同学今年在做Thesis 跟的Dick Taylor. 1point3acres.com/bbs
. 牛人云集一亩三分.地


再发两个链接，Software的：http://se.ics.uci.edu/Welcome.html，HCI的：http://hci.ics.uci.edu/HCC_and_IS_at_UCIrvine/Welcome.html

最近发现Information Systems Group满大的，对中国学生也满友好的，不过看到几个都是清华过来的PhD，主页是http://isg.ics.uci.edu/，这个quarter在上Michael Carey的课，感觉满给力的

关于UCI的财产证明

我贴了官方说明和相应的地里同学的一些做法。基本上来自这个帖子http://www.1point3acres.com/bbs/thread-11963-1-1.html 。理论结合实际。


官方的说明：
来源：http://www.ic.uci.edu/Forms/NewGradStudentDocumentRequest.pdf
不知道这份文件明年在不在，我贴一点关键的内容：
We are required to review original documents; written in English and U.S. Dollars. If your bank does not provide this, you must submit a notarized official translation. Since the U.S. Consulate will also require this document, we recommend that you obtain two original copies from your source (one for UCI and one to be used at the U.S. Consulate for your visa application).

If your bank statement is NOT in English, you may provide an online conversion to U.S. Dollars in addition to
the bank statement. (在这里说以前以前地里的一个同学的做法，他的转换是转换是从www.xe.com上面打印的，参见回复贴http://www.1point3acres.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=11963&rpid=174253&ordertype=0&page=1#pid174253【20楼】)

All funding documentation should be dated within 6 months of the time is it is received at the International Center. (这一条的解释可以参看http://www.1point3acres.com/bbs/redirect.php?goto=findpost&ptid=11963&pid=172103&fromuid=46705【19楼】，以及http://www.1point3acres.com/bbs/redirect.php?goto=findpost&ptid=11963&pid=171706&fromuid=46705【12楼】)应是开具财产证明的日期为International Center收到的6个月之内，而不是冻结期。）

Financial documents must show liquid assets that can be converted to cash.

Do NOT submit tax documents or salary statements.


Funding Sources:
【父母资助】Private Sponsor:  A person who will support the educational and living expenses during your time at UCI.
An original signed and dated letter is required along with original bank statement.
Sample Text for Letter:
“To Whom It May Concern, I (fill in name), (relationship to student), am willing and able
to provide the educational and living expenses in the amount of ($$$$$) for (name of

CS master申请的时候不比递交。在录取以后，提交了Statement of Intent to Register (SIR)，且说明你接受了ad，才会收到一封邮件让你提交财产证明。cs master，至少今年如此，要求在4月15日给答复。答复仅仅是指提交SIR，并不要求在415前递交财产证明。（我一开始这么以为的。）
收到关于提交财产证明的邮件中说明了I20的processing time：
Once your documents are received, it takes 2-3 days for them to be prepared for the International Center.  Once prepared, they will be sent to the International Center via inter-campus mail which will take 1-2 days to be delivered to the International Center.  Once your documents are at the International Center, it may take an estimated 15-30 business day for your I-20 to be processed.  

Generally, if your documents are submitted before the end of April, processing time may be less.  However, the International Center processes I-20’s and other Visa documents for the entire UCI campus so it is possible your I-20 may take longer than 30 business days to be processed if your documents are received after April.
It is to your advantage to submit your documents as soon as possible.  Documents submitted late run the risk of not being processed in time for Fall 2012.


从这封邮件内容看寄材料过去的时间最好应该是在四月底前。
