Online MS in CS at Georgia Tech

[rajeev3001]

Hello,

Recently I came across this Online Masters program offered by GA Tech.
https://www.omscs.gatech.edu/

Is there anyone who has done this or doing this? What are your experiences with it?

Also, how about the recognition/job prospects for this degree compared to a regular MS degree?
After all, is it worth doing this degree?

Thanks!

I have applied, but have not yet received a decision.  My application remains in "To Dept For Review" status.  I am interested to see if anyone currently enrolled finds this thread.

Regarding your second question, from the school's FAQ:

The name "Online Master of Science" is an informal designation to help both Georgia Tech and prospective students distinguish the delivery method of the OMS program from our on-campus degree. The degree name in both cases is Master of Science in Computer Science.

This is great. So it looks as good as a regular in-person Masters done at GA Tech.

Thanks for the answer.
