> Basically I heard from a person doing an Online Master's at the NYU Tandon School that they've been told by the faculty they can advertise their masters as a regular in person one and that the certificate doesn't state anywhere that it's an online one. On top of that, they are paying only a fraction of the cost of what an onsite master would cost there.
So you're upset that they got a better deal? Don't count other people's money.
> Not only do I find that infuriating and deceitful, I also believe that it paints NYU in such a bad light and that it's no longer what it used to be. Like, they don't even require IELTS or TOEFL, just a random Duolingo test that's whatever. The person who told me about it doesn't even speak English on a C1 Level.
If your gripe is in the quality of the program, I don't think that's for one upset person to assess.
> 1. Isn't that unfair to those doing and paying for an onsite masters?
Your gripe is with NYU; your gripe is not with the people graduating. Don't take your gripes out on a system out on people just trying to live their lives.
> 2. Isn't that deceitful in the job market?
Your gripe is with NYU; your gripe is not with the people graduating. Don't take your gripes out on a system out on people just trying to live their lives.
> If you were hiring, would you now pay as much attention to a degree from NYU?
Depending on role, I already do not place much value in masters degrees.
> What if the degree holder tried to fool you about how they received it?
If the program is a master's, it's a masters. It's not for some random upset person to decide the validity of that masters.

- alex_lav 2y agoI don't have a masters of any kind. Never saw a point.
- NYUTandonScam 2y agoBesides, you missed my point, isn't it deceitful to be allowed to advertise an online masters as a regular one? Doesn't that do disservice to those who went ahead and got a regular one? I myself don't have a masters from NYU.
- alex_lav 2y ago> isn't it deceitful to be allowed to advertise an online masters as a regular one? You may think so. Luckily the validity of a degree isn't for you to decide! > Doesn't that do disservice to those who went ahead and got a regular one? Is it a master's degree? If yes, why is it a disservice? But also to be clear I believe you're a troll on a troll account so don't respond, I don't care. > I myself don't have a masters from NYU. Sounds like you have an in-person masters and are upset other people got a better deal. Which goes back to my original point, stop being upset and don't count other people's money.
- NYUTandonScam 2y agoIf it's still a masters as you put it, why would they care to hide the fact that it's an online one? Why not be transparent of it doesn't make a difference as you said?
- NYUTandonScam 2y agoNYU has the same content for their Cybersecurity Online Masters as the Offline one, but; 1. The offline accepts ~20-50 students per year, whereas the online accepts 5000. 2. The offline costs ~$70k, whereas the online costs ~$18k. Are these two the same, would you say? And if they're, why go as far as to lie about having acquired it online, when it doesn't even matter?
