Being bothered by something like this isn't going to help you - at best it'll make you seem petty and rather vain.
"advertise an online masters as a regular one" --> This makes no sense to me.
A friend of mine just got their masters of computer science from the online program at Georgia Tech and the diploma does not make a distinction between conventional on-site vs off-site.
If NYU is anything like Georgia Tech, the diploma is identical regardless of whether the student took the courses online.
Therefore, there is no "advertisement" that takes place. It is a regular master's diploma conferred by the academic institution. If you have problem with it, take it up with the registrar's office.
- NYUTandonScam 2y agoIf that's the case, why not just state it? Why not be transparent with it and say that this was acquired fully online? Also in NYU's case, how is an Offline Masters degree, that costs ~$70k to get and accepts ~20-50 students every year, the same and same quality with an Online Masters degree that costs ~$18k and accepts 5000 students per year? How could anyone say that these two are the same and of equal weight? You can get an education and become a stellar engineer/professional whilst being self-taught. I've got no beef with the people getting degrees online, it's just that you can't equalize the two aforementioned degrees, cause they're just not the same. Like it or not. And if it doesn't matter, like most of you say here, then why not just say it?
- alan-hn 2y agoWhy does it matter to state it? You've made no distinction between the two on any relevant point. You keep repeating the statement that its not the same but you fail to explain why it isn't the same
