For “why this university?” your answer should be based on the fact that whatever the university provides is unique and best and is not available in other universities in america.so include the following points:

  1. Coursework – give the name of 3 courses that your university provides (refer graduate catalog) and tell the visa officer that u need to do these courses and university provides rigorous and practical exposure in them
  2. Faculty and professors – give the name of 2 professors who have international reputation and recognition.
  3. Fees – most economical university and affordable tution fees for MIS course.

If the next question is why not do the same course in Nigeria?

  1. MIS is a unique course with a blend of management and technology course and such course is currently not available in Nigeria.
  2. coursework in US is practical oriented and will help me to learn a lot.
  3. US degree will provide me with lots of opportunities in Nigeria.
