University of Illinois Chicago

Selected programme options include Master of Science in Computer Science, Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Master of Science in Statistics. These are selected examples, not the full catalogue. Availability, campus, mode of study and teaching language must be checked for your intake.

CS MS applicants should hold a bachelor's degree in CS, Computer Engineering or a closely related field, with preparation in programming, discrete mathematics and data structures. Its admission page specifies either 3.0 overall or 3.5 over the final 60 semester credits. International CS MS applicants must provide GRE scores except for the stated UIC-graduate exception; a waiver for US-degree applicants is not a general international waiver. The application includes two recommendations, a statement, CV and academic records. Statistics instead requires substantial calculus, linear algebra, probability/statistics preparation and publishes its own requirements. CS lists IELTS 6.5 with every component at least 6.0. Statistics publishes a higher IELTS requirement of 7.0 in each component. UIC's central international guidance updates TOEFL scales and says Duolingo is accepted from fall 2027 onward; do not use that acceptance for an earlier term or assume a central minimum overrides a department.

UIC OIS's 2026–27 international funding table estimates USD 38,478 tuition and fees for one academic year of the listed engineering MS programmes, including CS and ECE, based on 12 credits per semester. Its corresponding minimum annual funding total is USD 60,193 including listed living, books and orientation estimates. These are immigration-planning estimates, not a guaranteed bill or a Statistics quotation; actual charges and future rates may change. Fees are not a university-wide average. Confirm the exact course, fee year, currency, deposit, extra charges and refund conditions before paying.

CS recommends January 15 for fall applications and lists February 15 as its fall closing date; its current page discusses fall 2027 applicants. Spring's July 15 international deadline is already past for spring 2027 at review, even though a later domestic deadline appears beside it. Rolling review remains subject to space. CS publishes fall and spring application cycles. International spring dates are earlier than domestic dates. The Statistics and ECE admission calendars must be checked independently; a department's spring opening is not evidence that every listed degree offers the same intake. A semester start date is not an application closing date. Check scholarship and visa timelines separately.
