Ranking for Masters(Online) as a Career Changer?
Looking at GT OMSCS, UIUC MCS and ASU MCS. My pros and cons for each as follows:
GT:
Pros- Highly ranked school, dirt cheap(7k), lots of class options
Cons- Will take the longest to complete, heard mixed reviews about many classes, some material hasn’t been updated in a while
UIUC:
Pros- Highly ranked school, heard the cloud courses are great, only 8 classes required
Cons- the most expensive option(22k), limited class options
ASU:
Pros- 8 week classes(can focus on 2 courses individually in a semester), moderate amount of classes, reasonable price (15k)
Cons- seemingly not a lot of information about people who went through it, little information about if the classes were good, ranked not as strongly.
Overall I’m looking to start in the fall and will have the following courses in progress (Data Structures, Algorithms, Comp Architecture) with the following completed (Intro to CS, Discrete Math).
My goals for the program are to hopefully qualify for internships (no visa issues about working and being in an online program as I am a citizen) or possibly have better odds going through resume screening with an in progress masters.
Any advice would be appreciated!
