But what is the basis for your confidence? The vast majority of students are working alongside the degree and not looking to go on to phd programs... Imperial, Stanford, Columbia, Gatech, UIUC, Utexas Austin all offer online degrees. Being in one of these programs myself I can assure you that the standard is rigorous. I attended a top university in the UK and the quality of education is not any lower. There are some universities that are absolutely frauds but that is not the case for the universities listed above. If you disagree go on the coursework pages and try and do the first problem set then tell me it’s not as difficult.
