You could say that with some truth about nearly any course of study (modulo the price tag). What's the GWH quote? “You wasted $150,000 on an education you coulda got for $1.50 in late fees at the public library.” That general cynicism about paid education notwithstanding... Having looked over Bradfield's curriculum, I think they've made some very savvy choices, that would definitely benefit students. Also I know two Bradfield alumni, who were both quite pleased with their experience there (though neither went for long enough to spend 20k USD). I think you can probably do a lot worse than Bradfield.

Hardly. Let's see the options: - A masters degree outside USA, it is probably way cheaper and extremely more prestigious, with better job prospects connections. - A masters degree in America, it more expensive, but gigantically superior in all the other points. - An online masters degree like Georgia Tech. Better, cheaper, more prestigious. - A CS degree online at OSU: https://ecampus.oregonstate.edu/services/tuition/?p=computer-science-postbacc https://ecampus.oregonstate.edu/services/tuition/?p=computer.... 1.5 X as expensive but you will get a real degree (No ABET accredited). - Coursera/Udacity/Edx. 10% of the cost, courses taught by first-rate universities. - OCW: Totally free. - FreeCodecamp: Totally free. So this program has the cost of Ivy-League universities program with 0 of the benefits. If you think this is a good proposition for your career, I as a hypothetical recruiter, would highly question your common sense as a prospective employee.
