Just a thought — as far as I know, the degrees granted by online programs (like an MSc) are exactly the same degree as what’s granted by an in person program. You’re not required to disclose on your resume that the MSc was earned virtually. Also with most learning being virtual this year anyway, you’d be in the same boat as anyone else. All of this is to say someone reviewing your resume doesn’t necessarily have to know it was an online program unless they explicitly ask you. I’d love to learn more about what you’re trying to get out of a masters and whether you could get the same thing by working professionally for 2 years.

Hi, thank for your answers. I'm already working professionally and it's very helpful to get proficient in some areas, but it's hard to force/motivate myself to study other non work related topics on my own. The main benefit is that by having a MSc from a reputable organization, I'd increase my future work prospects. Also there are subjects that aren't available as MOOCs, but also the fact that most MOOCs lack the rigour that I'd wish for, save for a select few, which sadly are about basic introductory topics.
