ACCEPTED into Georgia Tech's OMS Cybersecurity!

[Merlin]

is that per semester or self-paced?

It is unfortunately per term (2 in spring term, only 1 in summer term, 2 in fall term). This is the only thing that made me question if I wanted to do it. Courses are "asynchronous," but not self paced.

But with my work willing to pay 100% for my education at a school on the level of GA Tech for this field, it's dumb for me to turn down. I wouldn't have been too upset if I was declined, because I would have done a competency based InfoSec degree AND an IT Management or MBA IT degree instead.... but ultimately just having GA Tech on the resume will open as many doors as two masters from unknown places. I think. Hopefully, at least

Bah, that is what I thought. I assume the OMSCS is set up the same way, despite being delivered primarily in MOOC format. So, at max, you can earn 15 credits per year; which means you're looking at a minimum of two years to complete the degree (assuming 30-36 credits like most MS degrees).

If I needed something like this for work the time investment would be worth it for sure. Hard to beat the GA Tech name on a tech-based degree. Doubly so given your company will pay for it.
