The degrees don't differentiate between online and traditional, so I don't see why not

Looks like it.  There is no mention on whether the degree needs to be on campus.  So online will probably meet the criteria!  I guess that's a huge benefit for international students of going UT online vs GT online for MSCS - the UK work visa!

Good point. I've edited my post.

I think that settles the debate on whether University of Texas at Austin is well-regarded across the U.S. since it's obviously world-renowned. It shouldn't have been a debate in the first place.

To clarify, that wasn't meant as a disagreement, I was legitimately just curious to see some comparison. no doubt UT Austin is a great program, but we don't have any students who have done it around here, I believe.

There's only two things that come out of Texas :       
Steers
and
Well Educated Computer Science Students 
and I don't see any horns on you

Why is University of Washington and Yale way down that list, I thought they were ranked higher than that? Oh wait, never mind... it's in alphabetical order! LOL, back to what you were doing...
