Hi,

Coursework is of utmost importance here. So make sure you check the courses offered by these schools primarily focus on whether the courses offered align with your goals or interests.

Rutgers is world class when it comes to Computer Science and Data Science. R1 research school so the quality of research being done and projects is top notch. Rutgers is highly reputated for the said programs. Professors are great and really dedicated to teaching. Its in new jersey so living expenses is less compared to nyc plus the proximity to nyc is a really good factor. Rutgers CS is more intensive compared to IUB CS, UIC CS and also more selective. The batch strength at Rutgers MS CS is less so lot of opportunities for on campus jobs. Compared to IUB, UCR, UIC, Rutgers has a better program overall.

UCR only has the location advantage. Its reputation is bad compared to other UCs.

UIC MS CS does not offer CPT. This is what I have heard but I will suggest you to rectify it once.

However, Rutgers outperforms the other programs. Rankings too Rutgers is a clear winner. My suggestion will be to go for Rutgers followed by IUB, UCR and then UIC keeping in mind the ROI, Academics, location, quality, research output, reputation, selectivity/acceptance rate, on campus opportunities in the form of assitantships and part time jobs and other crucial factors.
