Online Master of Science In Computer Science
From the homepage:
The Georgia Institute of Technology, Udacity and AT&T have teamed up to offer the first accredited Master of Science in Computer Science that students can earn exclusively through the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) delivery format and for a fraction of the cost of traditional, on-campus programs.
This collaboration—informally dubbed “OMS CS” to account for the new delivery method—brings together leaders in education, MOOCs and industry to apply the disruptive power of massively open online teaching to widen the pipeline of high-quality, educated talent needed in computer science fields.
Whether you are a current or prospective computing student, a working professional or simply someone who wants to learn more about the revolutionary program, we encourage you to explore the Georgia Tech OMS CS: the best computing education in the world, now available to the world.
A little more than a year old, the Georgia Tech OMS CS program continues to grow. Carl Straumsheim writes in One Down, Many to Go of high marks for the program by students and administrators feeling their way along in this exercise in delivery of education.
At an estimated cost of less than $7,000 for a Master of Science in Computer Science, this program has the potential to change the complexion of higher education in computer science at least.
How many years (decades?) it will take for this delivery model to trickle down to the humanities is uncertain. Acknowledging that J.J. O’Donnell made waves in 2004 by teaching Augustine: the Seminar to a global audience. There has been no rush of humanities scholars to follow his example.
