>> It is not the same degree that's awarded... False. "How will this degree appear on my diploma and/or transcript? The name "Online Master of Science (OMS)" is an informal designation to help both Georgia Tech and prospective students distinguish the delivery method of the online program from our on-campus degree. The degree name in both cases is Master of Science in Analytics. The track designation does not appear on the diploma or transcript."

Thanks for the correction, and I've updated my original comment to note the same. Interestingly, I went looking for this information, including skimming that FAQ section. This disparity between online and traditional degrees awarded is common, so I'm surprised (or maybe biased is a better term) that GT uses this "informal designation" everywhere, including phrases like: "... Online Master of Science in Analytics (OMS Analytics) degree will be available..."
