What is the difference between Arizona University and Arizona State University?

MS in VLSI Design and Technology: Among Arizona State University, University of Texas at Dallas, University of Florida, Northeastern University, Syracuse University and SUNY Buffalo, which ones are worth applying considering Job prospects after MS?

• Answer:

  Note I don't any Electrical engineering background but looking at the US News World Report Rankings of your list, ASU is at #30, University of Florida #34, and Northeastern at #44. http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-engineering-schools/electrical-engineering-rankings/page+2 It helps to attend as a high a ranked school as possible. I would also advice you to contact the Engineering school career service and find out what their placement % for EE (VLSI) grads. Also it might not hurt to see if you can contact a current student to see what their experience has been, it never hurts to talk with someone who won't pitch you a sales pitch and will give you honest feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of the program.
