Ask HN: What are some good online CS Master's programs?
2 points by rayalez on July 20, 2020 | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments
Hi! I'm trying to find a good online program to get a Master's degree in CS.

I'm a competent self-taught web developer, but I have a non-technical Bachelor's degree, which procludes me from getting the work visa and makes job search more difficult.

So I'm looking for a high quality program that will teach me some solid fundamentals of CS I may have missed (algorithms, data structures, etc), and give me a proper CS diploma I can use in my job/visa applications.

Can you recommend some good options? What criteria should I use to pick the best one? What should I keep in mind?

I would really appreciate any help!



No personal experience with this, but GaTech OMSCS [1] seems very compelling. Great testimonials, and impossible to beat price.

It seems like their admission requirements demand a technical (math/CS) bachelors, and my diploma is from completely unrelated field.


I've read that you can take some courses from WGU[1] to qualify, again no personal experience with them.
