Competency based / self paced master in CS? - posabsolute - 01-15-2018
Hey guys,
I'm currently doing my TESU capstone and shopping around what to do next. I will probably end up doing WGU MBA, however, in my quest to find self-paced programs, I didn't come across a self-paced CS or software engineering master. Hodges and WGU have a bachelor in software development but no master.
Does such a thing exist?

I doubt it. The only even affordable ones I'm aware of are Georgia Tech and UIUC, but they aren't self-paced.

WGU posted something last spring about a possible MS in Computer Science, but I haven't been able to find out any more info. Haven't contacted them because I'm not looking for start a masters program for another year or two.

I saw the conversations on reddit about the MS in computer science from WGU. From what I understand they made a mistake announcing it this early.
Do you think they are using a provider for their comptency based course? I say that because I find suspicious the Hodges and WGU have both a bachelor of software development. It's not a typical degree.
