I'm looking at grad school and Harvard Extension School has a nice program that's relatively affordable. Unfortunately going to the Extension School gives you a liberal arts degree in extension studies in CS. You still take all CS classes, but get a different degree. Is it worth it? Will employers care? I went to a tiny no-name school for my undergrad in CS and only got a 3.0 gpa back in 2013, so I'm afraid I won't qualify for a big fancy school like CMU or MIT. Tagging @Google, since I'd be interested in applying to Engineering Residency program after grad school, but I know the job listing asks for CS or CE degree

why do you want a degree?
I'd like to study and learn more CS theory, but I'd also like to return to or keep working in the industry
You can just grab a book or something. You don't need a degree.
Georgia Tech has a very affordable (something like $10k) online CS MS program.
10k total for the whole program? Wow, that's really good. I'll definitely read into them some more
It’s about 10k per year now but still one of the best deals around
This is what Im doing (and what a lot of people did because of their sucky GPA). Do Stanford's SCPD program and do well in a CS graduate certificate course and then apply for a Masters. If you do well, you have a good chance in getting into their Honors Co-Op MSCS program.
Thanks for the tip! I hadn't heard about SCPD at Stanford, will definitely read up on it
