What is a U.S. credit hour?

  • 1 U.S. credit hour equals 1 contact hour of

lecture

  • A graduate level course at IIT is usually 3 credit

hours

  • 3-credit hour course at IIT means that the

course is offered three times per week or once a week for (3 c.h. x 1 hour) 3 hours

  • 1 U.S. Credit = ~ 2 ECTS credits

Why Study at I I T

  • National Hub for the « Perfect Grid » & I nternational hub for hybrid-

electric vehicles

  • Location in Chicago – 3rd largest city in the U.S. – job opportunities
  • Cutting-edge research with 2 world famous labs – Argonne National Lab &

Fermi Lab in the Chicagoland area

  • Possibility to complete a Master’s degree in 1 year ( 12 months) without

adding an extra year to your studies

  • No quotas at the Master’s degree level – 12 ch scholarship ($18,900 ref.

August 2019-May 2020 tuition) offered to those who qualify for admission to I I T – no quota

  • F1 visa allows students to work for 12 months in the U.S. in their field of

study after the degree from I I T, and extend the work possibility to another 24 months if the field is under the STEM category

Testimony from an alum Mr. Javier Perez,

  • f ETSII-UPM & IIT (IIT-MMAE, 2008)

Javier Perez (ETSII-UPM, MMA- JMMAE IIT 2008 Was it worth it? “Absolutely! The experience is worth the cost a compensation point of view as well as a personal endeavor Without the IIT, I would have not been able to work in the US” Would you recommend this experience to others & why? The job market is a very competitive one. You need to be able to differentiate yourself. Coming to study in the USA gives you that differentiation” Salary range: first year 50+ 10K; 3rd yr: 65 + 10K “After F1 OPT, and then several H1bs, I got my green card last year, 9 years after I arrived in the USA” Current job position: Senior Associate for Strategy

CHOI CE OF COURSES AT I I T

I MPORTANT POI NTS TO REMEMBER:

  • Not all courses are offered all of the time
  • Some courses may be offered once every two years
  • Some courses may be offered once every year
  • Some courses may be offered each semester
  • Some courses may not be offered/opened if there are less than

10 students registered for a course What you should do:

  • Regarding electives, discuss with your professor at your home

university, the elective courses you will need to take for validation & alternatives & submit only once admitted

  • In this case, it is imperative that once selected, you submit

complete documents to IIT for an early decision well before April 15
