Please provide me top universities for MS in USA?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the top universities in the USA for pursuing a Master of Science (MS) in Electrical Engineering (EE). Key institutions mentioned include Princeton University, Harvard University, Stanford University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Notably, MIT does not offer a master's program in EE, focusing solely on Ph.D. programs. For international students seeking a master's degree, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo is highlighted as a viable option with a strong program in electrical engineering, particularly in fiber optics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Master of Science (MS) programs in Electrical Engineering
  • Familiarity with university rankings and their implications for graduate studies
  • Knowledge of the differences between master's and Ph.D. programs
  • Awareness of specific university offerings and their focus areas
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the electrical engineering master's program at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo
  • Explore application requirements for top universities like Princeton and Harvard
  • Investigate the implications of pursuing a Ph.D. after a master's degree
  • Review the differences in curriculum and opportunities between MS and Ph.D. programs in EE
USEFUL FOR

Prospective graduate students in electrical engineering, academic advisors, and international students considering advanced studies in the USA.

I looked myself at the opportunities to do an MSc in a UK/Canada/US top 20 school. Problem is, for most an MSc is what you get when you leave the PhD track prematurely.
I myself am in an 3 yr BSc 2 yr MSc place and I was looking at doing my MSc in a top school and then return for the PhD to my home country. Well, problem is that it doesn't usually work out as for pure science at top schools BSc -> PhD. and doing a normal PhD after a top school MSc is also said to be a waste.
 
I will add that MIT does not have a masters program in EE--only Ph.D.
 
A place with a good masters program that is a bit more realistic to a above average student from out of country would be Cal Poly SLO's masters program for electrical engineering. I know the head of the department, it is a good program and it focuses a bit of fiber optics.

Not all of which even offer a EE degree at all, and not all of which offer a terminal MSEE. Which is why the obsession with rankings that one sees from certain parts of the world is just silly.
