UTAustin has just joined Georgia Tech and UIUC in offering online MS degrees in CS for $8-22k. Undergrad is still problem though.
UIUC despite being in a cornfield area is the largest supplier of swengs in Silicon Valley. Even early-to-midsize Microsoft was mainly populated by UIUC grads and some well-known companies like YouTube, Tesla, AMD, Oracle etc. have their roots there.
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoI worked at Microsoft for almost 10 years and never met anyone from UIUC. Amazon has a lot of their grads, however.
- cbanek 7y agoI went to UIUC and worked at Microsoft for almost 10 years. I'm sure searching on LinkedIn will find plenty of people who have done the same.
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoSure, MSR is also a bit different from MS.
- cbanek 7y agoI did not work for MSR.
