I’m a senior studying computer engineering (focusing on comp arch) and trying to decide on a grad school.

My options:

• CMU ECE MS: 1.5 year but I have to start spring 27
• UCB EECS MEng: 1 year starting fall 26
• Cornell ECE MEng: 1 year starting fall 26

I got an architecture internship lined up this summer, and my plan is to go into the industry after I graduate.

I like Berkeley EECS for its short program length / brand name / lower cost, but I am worried that MEng will not be as perceived as a real master degree, so I am leaning towards CMU. Curious what people think in the industry for computer architects? Or is there a difference in the long term
