UT Austin's program is also worth considering. It's newer but there is supposedly more consistent quality and rigor to the courses. Of course nobody has taken both so it is speculation from students at both schools, but that is the general consensus I could pick up from the respective subreddits for both programs. You also have to take the GRE for UT Austin.
As for your question about remaining hours, they are classes you choose. Anything not explicitly required or part of your specialization gets filled by electives of your choosing. You can also see rankings by students of all the courses here: https://omscentral.com/ https://omscentral.com/
- ceochronos 6y agoThank you for the information, I just quickly checked the page and I think it has less elective courses to choose from compared to the Georgia Tech program. Another thing to take into consideration is that UT Austin's program is more expensive.

- cameronfraser 6y agoIt has less electives because it is newer, but most people are choosing it due to increased rigor. The OMSCS program has more watered down classes supposedly. One of the things that irritates me about the georgia tech program is that they hardly have most of the classes in a program available. I'm most interested in computer vision courses and they have one class on computational photography and nothing else. On campus students get things like multi view geometry and all kinds of courses I think are essential to computer vision researchers, but not online students.
