[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It might just be a matter of time.  I read that GMU is the first college to offer a masters in AI[/quote]
I don't know about that.  UMD has a masters in ML

First "Public" Masters degree; Why "Public" matters? New Degrees have to be approved by the State.

Other schools have them now.

Also when Software Engineering Institute launched in Carnegie Mellon - they chose 3 other locations. GMU was one of them. Super Computing center at the Arlington Campus as well not all schools have them including the ones this thread directly compares to.

Not bad for a commuter school with a nice Taco place across the street.[/quote]
That's awesome.  My DC is at UMD, focusing on ML, and will also be getting a masters in CS, again focus on ML.

I think [b]GMU definitely hits above its weight[/b].

What does that mean?[/quote]
It means that it is not looked on favorably, no prestige, but the outcomes of their students is pretty good for what it is.

Wow - GMU beat UC Irvine and just a few notches shy of UC San Diego, U. Illinois Urbana, and VA Tech. [/quote]

Proximity to DC probably helps that.[/quote]
Well, San Diego isn't exactly in a lcol area.  And people did say that GMU is better for internships and jobs, but some people on here keep saying that doesn't matter because internships are during the summer, and people get jobs from all over.

Like I said, GMU hits above their weight.[/quote]

GMU is a good school.  The DCUM bubble is idiotic.[/quote]
