NEWLY LAUNCHED PROFESSIONAL MASTER'S PROGRAM IN COMPUTER SCIENCES
                     Department of Computer Sciences
                     University of Wisconsin, Madison
                        http://www.cs.wisc.edu/pmp
       Application deadline: March 15, 2014 for enrollment in Fall 2014
  
  
If you are a working professional in the U.S. or abroad who wants to
pursue an M.S. degree in computer sciences at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison, the new Professional Master's Program (PMP) is for
you. The program has begun accepting applications in Fall 2013 for
Fall 2014 enrollment. The application deadline is March 15,
2014. Accepted students will begin the program in Fall 2014 on the
beautiful UW-Madison campus. A student taking two courses per semester
can finish the PMP within two years. The program is designed such that
two courses per semester constitutes a manageable workload for a
working professional who attends the PMP part time.  (Of course, both
international and domestic students are welcome to attend the PMP full
time.)
  
The Department of Computer Sciences is a top-ranked department in the
U.S., and Madison is a lovely city situated among four lakes, with
recreational opportunities abound. In recent years, numerous high-tech
companies and startups have set up shop in Madison (recent additions
include research and development labs from Google, Microsoft, Redhat,
and Walmart). An important measure of an academic program is the
success of its graduates. Our M.S. graduates in particular are highly
sought after. They have interned at many high-tech companies such as
Google, Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft, and many of them have received
job offers even after the first year of studies. The department
maintains numerous close research, development, and alumni connections
with Silicon Valley, the heart of the IT industry in the U.S., and
students will have many opportunities to learn from and be involved in
these connections.
  
We believe the learning environment in the department is second to
none, making this an unbeatable choice for continuing your education.

看地里对Madison CS的评价不错呀，不过$48,690 也不便宜

工作之后，这个学费也就可以赚回来啦。 而且$48,690 是包括生活费，房租，学费的所有费用。过得节约一些，花费没有这么高的。暑假还可以intern嘛。

不好意思，我刚刚仔细看了一下该项目的网页。我写错了，$48,690是五个学期的学费。其实一般2年，4个学期就可以完成学业，拿到master了，学费应该是不到4万。

补充内容 (2013-12-6 02:53):
再补充：发现自己又还是看错了，呵呵。$48,690的确是学费，是按照30个学分的要求计算的。楼上说的学费是对的。

之前去官网看看  好像硬性要求一年工作经验？求解答

很喜欢uwm  如果不硬性要求就申了

学费是硬性的，但是时间安排可以自己调整，生活花费会下来一点。

恩，uw-madison的cs排名很好，而且madison城市也非常好，很安静，但是也有博物馆，电影院，中餐馆等城市的氛围。既然喜欢的话，为什么不直接给项目联系人发封信件或者打电话确认一下呢，看看实习能不能算是工作等等。建议直接跟项目联系人询问，估计新开的硕士项目，录取概率会大。

. 1point3acres对的，房租，生活费节约一点的话，其实开销还凑合。毕业找到工作就能赚回来了。

谢谢 今天Anhai居然在星期天晚上回我了。。我问 我没有工作经验，还会被考虑吗，他的回答如下

If your record is strong and your statement of purpose explains clearly why you think the PMP at UW Madison would be a good one for the next step of your career, then we may be able to waive that requirement. So I encourage you to apply but make clear in your statement of purpose why you think this PMP is good for the next step of your career.
