Thanks! None yet! After accepted, you send your formal, official transcripts. I've already paid to send them over. I'll keep you updated on the process.

Congrats. They are an excellent school. Curious, wondering why you didn't apply to the Georgetown SCS Master's program since you already have a bachelor's degree?

I thought the application process was simpler and more straightforward and since I'm doing multiple programs at the same time, time is of the essence for me. Also, I was under the impression that the SCS Master's program is more pricey. Lastly, I've run into some trouble where I'm going to some higher ranked schools for grad school but when people look at my undergrad schools they are confused, so I think this will help even that out.

Welcome to the HOYA community. 

note: Have you verified the tuition because it appears the $400/hour is only for the summer courses according to the website. https://scs.georgetown.edu/admissions/tuition/

RE: New Georgetown Coursera Bachelors - collegecareerstudent - 01-09-2023

I'm not sure if that's for the Coursera specific partnership degree program, though. That's the issue, and while I got an welcome email from Georgetown yesterday, I don't have an advisor assigned to me yet that I can ask. I've seen the tuition on that homepage, but Coursera specifies that the tuition rate through them isn't just for summer, so I'm a bit confused. Either way, this isn't a degree I intend to rush through and imagine it will take me multiple years to finish.

The online bachelors program begins in the Summer of 2023 and that's why the $400/hour tuition starts in the summer.  It should be $400 in succeeding semesters, at least from my understanding.

In the prior academic year, the tuition for summer was the same for fall and spring at $984.

I verified with the Georgetown Coursera representative that the tuition is $400 per credit hour for the online program, not to be confused with the prices for on-campus.

CONG! 
It seems that there is no indication of an online program in the admission letter, I am still wondering if the ''online" word may appear in the transcript or degree certificate.
