Fine programs but the out of state tuition is so high? This is very expansive. Even if I needed to enroll it way pass the TA at my company. 3 unit class almost 3,000? this is crazy expansive. ANd Cornel is like 6000 $$$ for 3 unit class. Well 16. TIE: Texas Tech University (Whitacre) Cost per credit: $270 The online graduate engineering program at Texas Tech is over 23 years old, but the school's distance-learning technology isn't. Classes are recorded and delivered using state-of-the-art multimedia equipment, and all the technical support and software needed to connect is free. The degree is more affordable than most at just $270 per credit. OK this my employer will cover if I needed the MSc in Engineering.
hmm, surprise Stanford's online program is not there. I think I didn't see UCLA and University of Washington too. Wonder how difficult is it to enter Columbia's online program.
UCLA is number one because in-state tuition cheaper than Columbia's CVN. I am wondering why UC-Berkley does not make the list.
i actually gave JHU a call about admissions into their CS Masters programs. the consultant over the phone actually told me it's not really competitive to enter the program. as long as you have a GPA of 3.0 and above for your last 60 credit hours and all the pre-req done, you'll get in... if you don't have the pre-req done, they offer some of them. you could even apply first, and spend the first sem doing the pre-req with them before starting modules for the masters program... heck, you don't even need LoR or GRE...
I think JHU lowered their requirement, I attempted to admit to its program in 2008. They told me that I need to submit GRE, 3 Letters of Recommendation, and etc.
the school i called was the school of professional engineering, and i only asked about the CS maters program. the other schools i think still require the GRE/LoR etc etc. Arts and Sciences still need them GRE and LoR Admissions Requirements | Advanced Academic Programs | Johns Hopkins University
Oh! This division was not available back in the day, it seems more prestigious schools start creating their CASH COW programs.
I will be okay with #16 at $270/credit! Texas Tech University (Whitacre), anyone have experience with them?
