Isn't the availability of classes an orthogonal question?
When OP says it's "exactly the same degree" I read that to mean that the school gives you exactly the same piece of paper at the end, as opposed to giving you a piece of paper that has the word "online" on it. In other words, I read it as meaning that there's no way for an employer to know whether you completed the degree in person or online short of asking you directly.
- chucksmash 9y agoI'd love to be corrected but my impression was that you earn a different degree with this - the paper says OMCS vs MSCS.
- barry-cotter 9y agoHow will this degree appear on my diploma and/or transcript? 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. http://www.omscs.gatech.edu/prospective-students/faq http://www.omscs.gatech.edu/prospective-students/faq
- chucksmash 9y agoThat's tremendous, thank you. Perhaps I was thinking of UIUC which makes a distinction between an MCS and an MSCS (of which only the former is available online).
