Columbia's MSOR has a bad reputation because some people see it as a "cash cow" to help fund the PhD program. If you are applying to Master's programs, you really need to make sure that the particular program is taken seriously by the university & employers and not just another source of funding. You don't want to spend 50k-60k+ and then realize that the school just wants to take your money. You really need to make sure there exists a supportive environment and plenty of opportunities available to you as a Master's student.
From my perspective, I feel like it could be very easy to feel "lost" in the Columbia program considering that there are 5 bachelor's programs, 4 master's programs, one professional degree, and one PhD program all housed in the same IEOR department. You may find yourself working a lot harder to compete for attention and resources from your department & university compared to a program like Stanford's MS&E, which is almost certainly resource-rich and offers just a single Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD program in various concentrations. |
