Ask HN: Are online master degrees credible?
3 by moocthrow | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I completed my BSc at a local University which isn't highly ranked in the University ranking lists and while I qualify for pursuing a MSc at some of the better ranked institutions in neighbouring countries, I don't want to quit my job and go there just to study. Recently the opportunity of taking an online masters program has presented itself. There are some options like Georgia Tech or UT Austin. Does anyone here have experience with either of those? The latter seems more rigorous and more promising to me. I have also found that there are options of pursuing a MSc from some of the even better ranked universities (though I doubt that I would be admitted). How much does it help with future job prospects, particularly at big tech companies? (Acing the interview isn't the hardest part, it's getting the offer from a recruiter). What is the admission process like? Thanks for all the info.
