MS in CS online from university in the USA
My wife is on h4 visa. She studied bachelor of engineering in electrical engineering and worked with an electrical company in India for a few years before moving to the USA 5 years ago. She learned Java, AWS, and python and worked on some projects 2 years ago. She was looking for a job but we planned to have a baby at that time so she stopped searching for jobs. Now she is thinking about preparing for interviews and looking for a job. Many companies have a hiring freeze these days. I am asking her to study MS in CS from some USA university online so she can get the opportunity to interview and work with FAANG or other big companies. Has anyone done ms in cs from university in the USA online? Which university? What is the total cost? TC: $340
Gtech OMSCS is great. If you can get in, Stanford has the name. The latter is much pricier than the former though. Anything else, don’t even bother
Thanks! I will check it on their website but do you know how much it cost, number of courses, program duration, internships?
Gatech OMSC CS. ASU has an online MS via Coursera. Gatech OMSCS may take time to complete if you are set on doing some specific courses which are in high demand ex: graduate algorithms.
Online degree wont count towards h1b greencard etc … better to check with lawyer since youll be spending a lot.
I checked ASU website. They mention that degree does not say online or in person because coursework is same. Total cost of the program is $15k. She can get job on h4 and apply for H1B. We don’t care about green card
I’m starting GaTech OMSCS in January. It will cost about $6600 in total, doing it to learn more about ML and have a relevant degree (currently have CivEng degrees) on my resume for bigger tech companies.
University of Phoenix
Finished OMSCS this year. I can’t really speak to the visa thing but as far as knowledge goes, it was totally worth it. Top 10 grad degree for < 10k.
University of Texas Austin has MSCS at 10K
UIUC MCS for 21k, 8 courses and class size is just about right (50-300 on avg vs 1000+ in OMSCS), and you get to actually talk to the TA of your choice and even professors if you have time attend their OH. Some classes have assignments and projects that are manually graded by UIUC CS graduate students on campus. If you don't need a more personalized help from TA/professor and just like to scroll through piazza posts, which is what most people do, then OMSCS as it's super cheap. The TAs in OMSCS are usually OMSCS students who scored an A in the course, plus lots of OMSCA classes are run by the TAs due to the massive class sizes.
@OP: I’m in a similar situation for my wife. She has a background in IT engr but no work experience. Wondering is online MS CS going to be just like in person in terms of job prospects?
